Arrogance

Bury it in the Deepest Abyss.
It’s an unwanted trait
We humans show
More chest hair
Than brains
As history has shown

I am better than you
Show me respect
Cancels out talk
Going your way and back

History has shown that
Arrogance has caused
MacArthur to lose Korea
Custer to lose the Big Horn
Automakers to lose Detroit
And bosses to lose as leaders

Yet it persists
As a trait that no one would miss
Arrogance should be buried
In the deepest abyss
