My Arrogant Younger Brother Roger

Brother on his high

horse looks down on me and rides

roughshod over me.

His haughty eyes and his proud

heart I must not tolerate.

Tanka on Arrogance

The final two lines in this poem of mine are quoted from Psalm 101:5

in The 1599 Geneva Bible, a 2006 publication of Tolle Lege Press.

My brother got on

his high horse and rode roughshod

over me -- again!

"Him that hath a proud look and

high heart, I cannot suffer."

A is for Arrogance.
