Proud Trumpian exit groan
prideΒ "unreasonable self-esteem, e
specially as one of the deadly sins;
haughtiness,
overbearing treatment of others;
pomp, love of display,"Β
From <https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=PRIDE>
Love is blind as justice, if my proud prejudice
were preproperly tuned to presume
you know
pride proceeds a fall, and all the angels know,
that first
giant step,
feels just like falling, it's humbling.
But try landing on your toes, next time.
Nope, says the proud but,
I always land on a ****, but this can't be real.
It does feel as if
I've been impaled on an obelisk.
Second hand embarassment. Vent.
