Seven Sins: Pride

You walk around smug and proud. Being the best there ever will be. The way you act in any size crowd. Just think how everyone falls for you. You can not be bothered by others. The untouchable is what you are. Not even wanting to deal with brother. Even friends and family have flaws. But not you. You have it down right. You have beat perfection this time. No mistakes, you stand and fight. Hanging onto what is precious. Ignoring everyone else around you. There is no other way to do this. Everywhere there is problems to. But that is not for you to worry. You have money to help the poor. Food is no stranger for the hungry. Time to give for love and to adore. But it is not for shares, not now. Then one day it happens to you. Age sits in and you are all alone. Nobody is around to talk to, a few. They all left you alone to die of pride.
