Behold the brazen strut
From high-minded bigmouths
Amid sharp-shooters
And illusory masters of material gain
Smart know-it-alls before lesser peers
Beware that molten hook of unkindness
The sting of your indifference
Your bold lies
As visible as your ratty tail
Take a moment and mingle your mind
In the vast expanse of openness
Simply forget yourself and take
A leap into the greater good
