The rich man should be proud of what he takes
We all know Pride’s not sin, nor a disease
The artist who’s ashamed of what he makes
Will find it hard to find someone to
please.
Conspicuous consumption’s all the rage
I flaunt with Pride the trophies I have won
Why shove my glorious victories in a cage
And not upon the front page of The Sun?
As much a sin it is then, not to show
The way I feel when feeling’s filled with
pride,
As is this sin from which all others grow.
Should I be modest and pretend that I’d
Not felt the joy of feeling envious eyes
Upon me where no envy’s in
disguise?
