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

So true and how we can all fall! We think we are right. What does that matter in the end. Love matters! Nice one, friend!

Pride can be good or bad, it all depends if it turns to arrogance. Nice write Mike:)
