Puffed

Puffed to the brim with inane pride, 
You strut about like a sparkling bride,
Displaying invulnerabilities that sting
 Sharper than wild porcupinish being. 

You fathom neither humanity 
Nor harm of your callous inanity;
You ever frolic and chest-thump
And mock and onwards trump. 

You’re aided by bloody malice 
Of hell ever bereft of peace,
And abetted by the unhearing 
Of heaven amid ills so searing. 

So how long shall you trample,
You unfeeling impish trampler? 
And dole out such endless trouble, 
You most callous restless troubler?
