Self-Righteousness

Are you really all that perfect, 
as great as what you think
God's great gift to the human race,  
and of course your B.M.'s don't stink
What makes you think you're special, 
a notch above the rest
each achievement bigger and better 
and "your" way is always best

It seems I've notice lately, 
self-righteousness does abound
I wonder who are the Indians 
with all these Chiefs around
Does being your own person  
really mean that you're elite
possessing more suave and debonair 
than anyone you  meet

This attitude is being accepted 
across each city and town
You're on the road to failure  
less you act like you're born with a crown
There are so many common men today 
although their standards are higher
Yet they think that they're a king or a prince 
when all they are is a liar

The drawbacks of charting this course 
affects both sides of the fence
enduring the stress of the faker 
or berated by self-righteous pretense
Although we abide this charade, 
we all return to the ground
whether we are ever-so  truthful 
or wearing a make-believe crown


So avoid depression and lessen the stress
please consider this tip
Remember we all walk on common ground 
and sometime those high horses slip.
