Poem Title:
Poem
"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations." John F. Kennedy Arrogance is such an egotistical trait; one I cannot abide Ignorance, I can excuse, but not those puffed up with pride Pompous people sing their own praises in snooty songs Their sharp tongues exposing them as pathetic ding dongs Cocky ones enjoy clawing at people, hoping for surrender Hiding behind the facade of a mask is a worthless pretender They try to steal the dignity of others, as though out for blood Tearing at their emotions like peeling petals from a rose bud Until someone comes along to drag them off their high horse and reveals their tyrannical ways with little exertion or force With puckered lips they chomp at people like a big mouth bass and for thinking I'm naive, they deserve a boot up the a s s Always acting smug, their spouting and spewing is notorious Conceited megalomaniacs who think they are vainglorious Pretentious in manner and speaking, but absolutely boring Picking fights just to be rebellious, belligerent and warring. Does such behavior make them feel important and influential? I see them as venomous snakes, whose lives are inconsequential One day ego will prostrate them, landing them flat on their butts Each haughty one I prefer to label an insolent moron and a putz.
