One ought not to envy the wealthy and widely known
Since these people never have lives of their own
And for their swollen egos one them hardly can blame
If i were one of them i too might feel the same
The admiration of the impressionable would perhaps go to my head
In the egotistical mind humility is dead
I feel lucky in ways for to pen doggerel
Were i a celebrated writer perhaps my ego would swell
And feelings of self importance should not hold much appeal
At least not to me of this only say how i feel
Leave them have their money and leave them have their fame
I would rather live as a not well known name
Than live my life as one of the narcissistic kind
Since the admiration of others can crowd humility from the mind.
