HIDDEN INSECURITY
Pride is a sucker for many manipulators,
praise is like putty in the hand of the masters,
they add a little glory as they use mans pride,
as a front and a cover under which to hide.
The man of pride boasts about his achievements,
flaunting and flashing his many agreements,
he is far too inflated to see the mighty traps,
until it brings him to a fall as it enraps.
Is this just insecurity hidden by a shield,
childhood abuse to which they no longer yield,
what is the lack that they need to feed,
for pride and arrogance to grow from its seed.
Pride is in fact a very dangerous flaw,
it lands us in the path of a vicious claw,
we are used and lured into positions of power,
except we're only puppets in the ivory tower.
