Master of Arrogance




When you take from life and give so very little!
And think you are a Roman god,supping on wine from goblets gold.

For recreation,poetry has morphed into sheer madness and infamy.
Destruction of others, by sword, pen or mouth, is your goal.

Drunk, to the winds,with false pride, as your motto!
Smashing human hearts in your path?
True friends...of them, you have no further need.

Just rest ye, on your velvet couch.
Fanned by followers, your biggest addiction and sad affliction.

You have slain, cruelly, those who cared.
You threw them heartlessly down, hard marble, bloodied stairs.

Sadly there are people like this in our world. Well crafted thoughts on arrogance.

ML..takes all kinds, does it not? Sinners disguised as Mother Teresa? Golly and barf! Friends are not garbage! Nor to be used. Crawling to the top on the backs of others? Not a good idea. Let Karma do it’s work. I have never seen it fail. Yaa, they are everywhere. A compliment from you as one who inspires is a true blessing. I wonder where appreciation went? I personally, don’t see poetry as an Olympics game.nor who has the most wins? That debases the art. I came here to write.but I wonder, ML. Pangie

Thanks, Elena. Sometimes, I realize I am talking to an audience of one....me. But, Elena, unless I am true to myself and humanity, I am but a bag of hot air...signifying nothing. To me this is PoetrySoup. To others,Popularity Soup. I am not into selling my soul. Pangie
