In the realm of battles waged by fate, Where heroes rise and villains bait, There dwells a force, unconquerable, vast, A nemesis, whose shadow is cast. With nefarious intent, it seeks to harm, An archenemy, a symbol of alarm. It weaves its web of darkness deep, Inflicting punishment vengefully does creep. No hero can escape its relentless grip. It thrives on conflicts, which none can skip. A generic motivation, it lacks, Driven only by the thrill of attacks Its hubris knows no bounds; it knows no shame. It believes it is beyond any blame. But in the realm of battles, there lies a truth Hubris and nemesis are intertwined, as wisdom and youth. The nemesis, with its cunning ways, Lures hubris into a treacherous maze. It tempts the ego, fuels the fire, Until the hubris burns, consumed by desire, In the face of adversity, heroes must stand tall. To face the nemesis and conquer it all. But beware oh brave ones, of the hubris within. For it blinds the wise, leading to their own sin. In the realm of battles waged by fate, Where heroes rise and villains bait, There dwells a force, unconquerable, vast, A nemesis, whose shadow is cast. With nefarious intent, it seeks to harm, An archenemy, a symbol of alarm. But through perseverance and strength of will, The heroes rise, and versus all odds, they fulfill They learn from the past, the mistakes they've made, And with newfound wisdom, they start to evade. Word Bank 1/ Hubris: Excessive pride, presumption, or arrogance Grandiose belief in one's personal ability, privilege, or infallibility 2/ Nemesis: A long-standing rival, downfall, or ruination of someone or something

Lasaad, congratulations on your POTD! There is much in our world that pulls us into a black hole of "hubris," but it is with a hero's heart that we stand and resist its pull! You have articulated this truth with such vibrant elegance of imagery. Your words vibrate with a nobility of a warrior's heart. Congratulations, dear friend, on your POTD honor! So happy for you!

The opposite of pride is humility, which many in the world lack. Sad, indeed. The battle is within, and must be faced by each individual. Your thoughts are so deep and powerful, Lasaad. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

I played the video you embedded, O Fortuna while reading the epic "Nemesis" dramatic. Alive with vibrancy. Whether humble or haughty, like Don Quixote, some will always be tempted to march into hell for a heavenly cause! Congratulations to you, Lasaad Sotto Poet on an admirable POTD! Hugs A fav "Be humble for you are made of the earth. Be noble for you are made of the stars_Serbian Proverbs

I read through a few times trying to figure out who or what the nemesis actually is. I'm not too deep. Is it the Devil? Man's own ego? In any case it makes for an interesting potd
