What Is It With Humans

What is it with us humans for success we compete So few too few are satisfied with being best on the street They want to be the greatest and be known Worldwide 'Tis all about our ego our inflated sense of self pride. Though some with being out of the limelight are always satisfied That it takes all sorts to make the Human World a thing that cannot be denied Our different ways make us more interesting one would have to suppose What does seem a weed to one to another is a rose. Many crave public recognition with them the most important thing Is that in the bigger World out there people their praises sing And even the mildest criticism they treat as an offence They grow old but not wiser and they lack in common sense. What is it with most humans they crave success and fame But the deflateable ego it cannot cope with shame They want to be well known and be loved everywhere And they crave recognition in the big World out there.
