Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

The Poison of Pride

There's a lot of people in denial tonight
With the poison of pride 
There's a lot of people not questioning why
Because of the poison of pride
They think that they know
You can't tell them so
They swallow it whole
The poison of pride

There's a lot of people that you can find
With the poison of pride
There's a lot of people in trouble tonight
Because of the poison of pride
They don't really know
It's a cancer that grows
That wont let them go
The poison of pride

There's a lot of people fighting tonight
With the poison of pride
There's a lot of people dying tonight
Because of the poison of pride
Bitter is the taste
Too little too late
When you come face to face
The poison of pride

There's a lot of people with no idea tonight
They have the poison of pride
There's a lot of people lying tonight
Because of the poison of pride
If they ever saw 
Pride comes before the fall
And to think they thought they knew it all
The poison of pride

Daniel Turner July 8, 2017 at 10:46 AM Pride can be good or bad, it all depends if it turns to arrogance. Nice write Mike:)
