Entrapped Within A Big Ego Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Can someone be so distracted by their own vanity,
That they will ignore...
The last of the giving of sound advice?
Can someone be so entrapped within a big ego,
They will destroy themselves at any price?

And this is not as mysterious,
As witnessed by those who observe.
There are those for years will do as they please...
No matter who warns them,
To duck from a punch or swerve away from a curb.

They are just in it for the punishment!
To secretly in discreet treat themselves to deviations.
