The gods looked down upon the plebes <br />and roared a loud thunderous laugh. <br />Those arrogant humans never <br />Learn. They spend precious time flirting <br />Audaciously with foolishness; <br />They set their eyes toward heaven <br />And expect to achieve greatness. <br />By whose precious standards do they <br />Trust determining their greatness? <br />Their own supreme egotism <br />Suffices as their bellwether <br />And so therein lies their weakness <br />A trait exclusively human.<br /><br />Albert Ahearn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/human-folly/
