Pride Is A Thing

The words of a wise person are ours to recall
Pride is a thing that comes before a fall
The proudest of people have known of wounded pride
And the mental hurt they did feel they struggled for to hide
It is a known fact the proudest of the town
Have had their humbling moments and felt mentally down
A wound to the ego is mentally a painful thing
But some temporary humbling to the proud one does bring
Yes indeed it is true that pride comes before a fall
And the most arrogant of people can be made to feel small
A prick to the ego can cause mental pain
But a loss to arrogance can be humility's gain
And the words of the wise person are ours to recall
Pride is a thing that comes before a fall.
