OH ARROGANCE BE STILL


Arrogance is such a miserable egotistical trait, 
Cultivated and nurtured to become their fate,
To me these people seem like over ripe tomatoes
packed in an old crate,
Which should be offered to passersby to throw
At them and smudge their face,
But either this or karma will envelop them in future days.
A compliment for or to them runs like water off 
A ducks back,
Give me down to earth, real people, and let arrogance
Go Quack, quack quack.

Well said my friend. Arrogance shouldn't be allowed, but some seem to just ignore they have it.

Arrogance and ego are the two traits I hate in people. We cannot deal with them when they assume that they are above everyone. People with bloated ego may one day burst like over puffed balloons. Let them go 'Quack, Quack' as you have humorously put it. I love your hilarious conclusion dear Jenny. Don't feel guilty for not being able to comment on poems as you have other things to take care of. Unfortunately that's my situation too. Some how I struggle and find time to comment on those who respond to my poems. It is a pleasure reading your comments, sweet friend.

As a child we must be loved and yet be taught the universe doesn’t revolve around us.

You are right Jennifer, yet some still love to be arrogant, normally it is a pride thing or their arrogance is a lack of educations and manners... some people cannot control their ego and then come across pompous... You described it really well... Quack, quack, quack lol
