Deflated Ego

Sitting here thinking, while I’m holding my own, I’m wondering how so many big heads fit into a pontifical cone? Riding in a chair of gold leaf, always raised way above the rest No wonder these elevated mortals start feeling they’re better than the best. Oh omniscient, watch out for that nearby and lowly dreg with a humbling stick. He’ll let the air out of your head you oblivious, magnificent but self-made schtick!
