No man is better!
No person is better than the other,
All born to the same wretched estate,
Only grace makes the difference,
So stop drinking from that cup,
That poisoned cup of arrogance and foolish pride,
Subtle yet more sure than the hemlock cup,
Which stopped the flow of Socrates' genius!

There you go again, delivering a rude awakening as only you can! What a total deflation of one's bolstering ego! I oblige, for it is no worse than stopping the "flow of genius."
ReplyDeleteThanks Tah Ngwa. I will be remiss in missing any of your poems. You totally bring it home every time!!!
