Weekly Scribblings -- what is seen?
its mine
It's mine the little one hollered
My rich uncle gave it to me
For me to have all for myself
These words he said to me to you
Haha haha I've got it now
Play in the dirt the sand is mine
All mine to have go find your own
- - -
arrogance learned; aged, carries on
The fields are mine better than yours
The trees the lands the factories too
All toys for boys not sissie girls
My skin is light that gives me rights
Harvard I've been I have you've not
Money for me go earn your own
Your houses burned leave mine alone

- Rosemary has invited us to "create poetry or prose using Rob Kistner’s phrase “Human arrogance is boiling over” as inspiration. We aren’t required to use the actual words. But if we do, we should credit them to Rob on a footnote."
- I am using a Sevenling poem form which seemed to work for this writing (about the Sevenling poem form).

Yes, human arrogance takes so many forms!
Selfishness is a unpleasant human trait encouraged by greed and others misfortune.
Jim, this is spot on! Arrogance learned / tolerated at an early age is damaging ... long lasting.
Ain’t it the truth Jim — “mine!” Begets the majority of evil in this world.
What Rob said!
Also, the childish tone is so very fitting.
Well Done, Jim! Arrogance can begin at a frighteningly early age.
