Biting More Than They Can Chew Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Taking on more than they can handle
Wanting to be Jacks of all trades but being
masters of none
Pretending to know everything
Boasting that they know everything
Failing in all their claims
Being proved to be liars
They bite more than they can chew.

Refusing to take advice
Being proud and arrogant
Going against the norms
Stepping on peoples toes
Undermining other peoples intelligence
Getting on peoples nerves
Abusing their powers
They bite more than they can chew.

Forgetting that what goes up must come down
Forgetting that what goes around comes around
God looks down at them pitifully
They reap what they had sown eventually
But those who see them fall fail to learn
They commit the same mistakes
The cycle of biting more than they can chew continues.
