Arrogance

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 04, 2018

Why
arrogance?
Some, believe
themselves
superior, better
than others.
Why?
Money makes
some arrogant.
Power makes
some arrogant.
Birthright makes
some arrogant.
Arrogance alters
perceptions,
perceptions of
reality.
Creates mindset
of privilege.
Privilege
to do
whatever the
arrogant want.
Arrogance is
weakness,
mental weakness.
Falling to the
desires
of our
darker angles.
Succumbing
to conceit
and smugness.
Arrogance
displays total
lack of
decency
towards others.
When arrogance
is no more,
humanity ascends.

I totally agree. I couldn't describe arrogance any better. Maybe some time you can stop by and read my take on Ignorance. Well done!
