Men on High Horses
They look down on people from their high horses
Carried away by their peer's praises
Viewing others as men
with no thoughtful mien
Boastful with their words
Acting like they own the world
They forget we are all human ...
Born by a woman
Greatness is a height
Which many has fallen
Their deeds forgotten
One thing cometh before a fall which is pride
Everyone is not a camel which you can ride
There are a lot of birds in the sky
Some fly while some soar
But none can roar

After reading very beautiful piece written by somebody whom I personally had to make my friend, I chose to put this on my blog. it is highly didactic. we all need to get off our high horses and at least reason with a more down-to-earth mindset .
ReplyDeleteI also like the ending stanza. there are a lot of birds in the sky, some fly wile some soar, but none can roar. this goes along way to tell us that a cat can't be a lion no matter how long he looks at the mirror.
the same way we are metaphorically being viewed as birds with different capabilities but then at the end, you just can't roar like a lion. it would seem so weird for that to happen.
Afolabi Kayode. thanks for this reminder. we all need to do away with the pride
cheers!
Nice one bro
