The High Horse

Why don't you get down from your high horse? It may bring you down to Earth, Because you are sitting up so high It doesn't show your worth, You may have a different view Sitting high up there But there are others beneath you Who needs some love and care? If you are sitting up so high, It's easy to lose sight. Out of sight of mind Oblivious of the plight, Of others and their kin You discard them, As quickly as throwing rubbish into a bin. Every dog has its day, That's how the saying goes. Get down from that high horse, And feel the Earth between your toes Plant your feet firmly on the ground It gives you a sense of balance And help justice to abound. If you want to rise even higher You will always need a taller horse. You will become a high flyer And disappear off course.

Heh-heh. I can't get off my high horse, because someone removed my ladder.
