The Smirk Of Pride
The most arrogant people rarely wear a frown;
pride puts a smile on their face;
while about to turn your world upside down;
they take joy, in your disgrace.
The smile, they wear, is a special kind;
defining them all as jerks;
as though they had a superior mind;
such smiles are called smirks.
The smirk is the enduring smile of pride;
of ones who think they’re superior;
their arrogance blossoming, from inside;
believing others to be inferior.
Arrogance is simply the mask they wear;
when their wisdom turns into doubt;
then; suddenly a change in the atmosphere;
as the fools are finally found out.
The smirk is a badge; worn on their face;
to hide the wisdom, they lack;
worn to keep all others in their place;
by innuendos; they then attack.
The smirk has been a timeless weapon;
a statement; made without sound;
a subtle expression; made to threaten;
any fools who are still around.
When, at last, all have long died;
and God has measured worth;
God will ignore the smirks of pride;
and the meek will inherit the earth.
