Of Egotistical People Poem by Francis Duggan

Why most of us humans are ego driven is way beyond me to explain
Success has even been known for to make the humble vain
If you would wish to know more of why this should be
You'd best ask a psychologist one who knows far more than me
About human behavior and the workings of the human mind
Since i am unenlightened on such matters one of the ordinary kind
Though i do know of two of the egos children arrogance and self conceit
The minds they do belong to do live on every street
It is said we all do need some ego in order to survive
And that those with little of it are lacking in the drive
That one needs to be successful in the Human World of today
The successful not lacking in ego or it does seem that way
Of egotistical people there are far more than a few
On saying that they are plentiful i am not saying anything that's new.
