By Telling Them

By telling them that they are undoubtedly great
In the egotistical the impressionable bigger egos create
As such people to praise not well suited at all
Since praise can go to the heads of the humblest words of the wise i recall
Narcissism on some people taking it's toll
In the age of the selfies in many the ego out of control
The look at me syndrome is alive and well
Big egos at praise to bigger egos does swell
In the twenty first century more and more people for fame and money compete
Many aspirational people every day one does meet
Though praise for such people is mentally not a good thing
The praises of the egotistical the impressionable sing
On saying in the twenty first century the humble are few
Is not telling anyone anything that is new.
