on choosing friends and lesser gods
surrender not
neither to friend nor foe
rather carry on with purpose
for there is work yet to be done
listen not to nike nor nemesis
for neither are on your side
instead look inwardly
and find yourself

I am not sure how to read this, it feels like a poem, but the rhythm and rhyme both seem a bit off
I struggled with the last line maybe that is why. Thanks for reading and commenting.
