Arrogance

GOODNESS LANRE

What is in the garment of arrogance?
At the hem of the heart
The queen and a dance.

A build of the mind in part
Proud rape of honour
The buttocks and a little f*rt.

Oh! What a deface of colour
A riot...a great blemish
Circles of evils harbour.

Respect gradual diminish
A state of suicidal shame
Just started is the finish.

What great reward in submission
A canon shot for a vast elevation.
