Poem -
HURT PRIDE
With a little hurt pride
Animosity breeds
Wrongs that are mere slights
Balloon into grievous insults
That will cause great destruction
A little word is pride
A big headache is its consequence
A nightmare is its longevity
A ruinous landscape it causes
Hurt imagined
Hurt real
Does anyone not hurt?
Those that feel umbrage no doubt
Also caused upset
Should we all do a history check
Before we try to wreck?
Peace on earth
Goodwill to all men
It is a fantasy
Coming from an ill -conceived pen
We all do harm
It is just a matter of when

I wrote this on a park bench yesterday lapping up the sun......one of my greatest obstacle in life is the pride of those around me..pride is to me a too controlling influence that is used against me ...
Meaningful lines, Thanks for sharing, WILLIAMSJI
thank you...history is never consulted for it shows that all we do is go around in circles....its a gloomy poem written on a sunny day..i had a list of phrases I wrote from reading the week newspaper so it was the turn of the phrase hurt pride .....
I think ill give the philosophy a break as the suns out ..ill have to do a spring poem ....
hope all is well
