Arrogance personified
Wear a cloak of pure conceit
Steal from me and claim as yours
The world should kiss your feet
You think that you are subtle
And you think that you are sly
One day it will come crashing
You will stare and wonder why
And I will be there laughing
Laughing at your fall from grace
As I slap the taste of ego
From your first and second face
Until that day I’m waiting
I sit here and bide my time
You are nothing but a thief
And your existence is a crime

Love this. My dad would say an Italian saying that means, “Be patient. Someday that stone will come out of your shoe nice and easy.”
Weird question considering I see your poems all the time: have you always written poetry? It’s quality stuff.
I love the “first and second face” I wonder who you’re talking about😉

Very Powerful Poem. It appears there are some feelings of hurt, frustration and betrayal. Hope you are ok my Friend.
You might find solace in knowing that, ultimately, justice and accountability are in God’s hands.
I blogged about Alan Watts philosophy about the ego. https://livingthebipolardiary.wordpress.com/2021/07/16/the-wisdom-of-alan-watts-abandoning-our-ego/
