The World of Pride

by Swila Bathool
(Karama, Dubai, U.A.E)

In their style, in their look
roaming with pride in every nook

The world of beauty has been turned
the word modesty needs to be learned

For one who is filled with pride,
is like a herd without a guide

An arrogant man never wins
but only loses without any gain

They think they win in every aspect
but they lack self respect

They ignore the fact
that nothing lasts

And what they earn
can be burned
