The regal “ Ego” <br />Sat in a tuft <br />Not long ago <br />To anger rather swift <br /> <br />Its fine and princely sure <br />Yet an Achilles’ heel <br />For the second person to ensure; <br />Twist around fingers I feel! <br /> <br />Yes oft I observe Great men fall <br />To the trap of flattery <br />Although otherwise tall <br />Words as if a bribery! <br /> <br />Regal the manipulator <br />Knowing the pitfalls ahead <br />Try to but futile warn of predator <br />Waiting to make his rose bed! <br /> <br />What more can unconditional love desire <br />Without uncaring sit by his warm fire <br />Even if burdens cannot share; <br />His patient love needless to retire.<br /><br />malini kadir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/futile-warning/
