Ode to Arrogance: Please Don't Feed My Soul
Dear Arrogance, 
 What holds you to your essence?
 Your subtle traps of haughty manner
 What you say? You don’t need to answer?
 
 We have you to blame
 It is partly your fault humanity is this way
 What I have said somehow seems tainted with your touch
 How and what can we do to break away from your clutch?
 
 You look down upon us from your high and repulsive chair
 Always looking for trouble elsewhere
 Hooded in black, you leave a trail
 I want to deny how easy it is you prevail.
 
 Why must you make us lose all civility?
 Your stab is not made bluntly
 Your power your force
 Dominantly, the roots of all evil soon will leave us with remorse.  
 
 Arrogance, do not look down on me
 Your corrupt touch, how far is your boundary?
 The ignorant pride of teens, politicians, humans 
 Confusion, detachment only deepens.
 
 Do you ever believe in reasoning?
 The men and women of today are crippling.
 The smirk, the pride, the bragger
 Arrogance, how do you deal with so much power?
 
 Arrogance lies awake, an outbreak of lost ethics
 A heart full of broken cheap plastics
 Full of mindless daring
 It is empty on courtesy and aiding
 Arrogance, why the need of more violence?
 
 Why, we need useful balance.
 Your self-worship shatters our already missing link
 Why, I am left with more matters to rethink
 Arrogance cannot be denied its presence, made up of disrespectful heartbreak
 Swooping on those unprepared and with bad intake
 
 I have one last thing to ask and tell to you of your control:
 Please, arrogance, don’t feed your insolence to my soul.
