Prideful Boy


Swallow your pride, boy.

Victory isn't real

in this world of yours.

Where the biggest loser

is the winner,

and the winners are the losers.

Think boy, think!

Why are you fighting?

Shut up and listen:

You are letting your pride

overwhelm and control your life.

It's a disease, you know,

"your boys" have it too.

You are all terminally sick.

Swallow that pride, boy.
