ARROGANCE & HUBRIS WON’T PAY

Erle Frayne D. Argonza


The ego surely has every way
To ambush your psyche
Like bandits waiting to waylay thee
It comes with thunderbolts
Of thoughts so dark and gloom
They’d make you depart
From your sublime humanity

Such as to make you wallow
In dirty cesspools
Of arrogance and hubris
Large may the pool be
Yet dirty is it as ever

Arrogance and hubris won’t ever
Pay enough and won’t reward thee
Save but to sink thee
Deeper in murky waters of evils
Such darkness will come back
Upon thee when most unexpected
Like a boomerang gleefully flying
To return to its own thrower
