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.
