Open your mind

How can you say that you are high?
as if others are on earth and you're their sky.
when all you can do is to remain on your childish mind
to become so haughty and to stay unkind.

how can you say that you are totally wise?
as if you are human and others are mice
when the words of others, for you seem useless
when your thoughts are full of absolute greatness.

how can you say that you are bright?
when others are always wrong and you are always right
and why are you always praising your might?
now that you see the Rulers are small on your sight

why are you always saying "you can"
and that you're using others for the things "you can't"
yet why would you try to ask for the help of others?
when it is always your work that always matters

how can you say that your knowledge is infinite?
when you don"t know even your own limit
yet why did you think that others are behind?
when you don't even know how to open your mind
