Lost In Pride

Entering thru the grand palette of skies
There's large ornate mirror of sunshine
You sit, there, pondering, and wonder why
Of what is opposite in the human mind

The aesthetic beyond, is not what it lies
Stunning views just can't change man's pride
All his astounding bit is right behind 
To complete his big tasks may be a lie

Tomorrow there'll be new better pride
This sky is too vast, a human mind
Will you understand it, all awhile
Through much mystery, you will never find

Without understanding and peace of mind
Man will always lose in the battle of pride.
