Pride


Be careful where you are stepping It’s hard to see with your chin so high And be careful not to look so deep Into the blueness of the sky Keep your mind on planet earth Not in the chimera of your heroics And focus on the world around Instead of your narcissistic antics Your ego is awfully inflated Don’t float off into the clouds You already look down enough On everyone around Your mouth is one that never stops Yet speaks no words of humanity You fill your ears with self-praise And bask in your endless vanity Keep marching in your fool’s parade, oh lion Be blinded by your golden mane And roar about how wonderful you are As crowds gather to curse your name.
