Arrogance

Arrogance is a dull thing encased in a mirage of licentious desire that disfigures the mind in the twilight of contemplation impoverished by glitter found in a world extending no further than an arm to strut like a peacock. demanding acknowledgment like a beggar...with open palms demanding alms to enter the grand stage of the humble and righteous seeking applause dressed in the King's cloth of self-gratification held tight by a ribbon of lies worn as a crown on the false hair of folly that lays in a circle around the feet of a fool to be so self-absorbed as to be blind to the death that lay on the ground covered with the bloody tears of innocence that flowed from the wells of disbelief as they cried out...help us arrogance looks down on the faces finding them unworthy of time is it arrogance or a narcissist? the question lays on the table of those weeping for the dead who turned their backs on the circus having found arrogance wanting of empathy they cursed this jester in their court having looked into his heart...finding no soul 2/18/18
