Ego Cups That Runneth Over

Ego cups have now been filled

To the point of overflowing

Confidence and power now heightened
 
 Fuel to keep ego’s growing!

I suspect it’s a worldwide expression, but I’m thinking, “Give em an inch and they’ll take a mile.” These people feed on retaliation… blank them… they will tire. Terry

That's really not a good thing, my friend. Ego is the enemy of community and acceptance of others. Nice poem though. Gives us something to think about, Deb. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill
