GLORY HOGS

My poem "Glory Hogs" is about those people who have to hog all of the attention and have very little to show for....

"GLORY HOGS"

 

 

Glory hogs are those people who are horrors

Who are always intentionally overshadowing

Everyone else's achievements and honors

Of those people who are more deserving

And all of the attention that they steal 

While the glory hogs are always demanding

All of the attention for their efforts so minimal

And seeking everyone into gloryfying 

Them and just themselves with zeal

Since there are so many glory hogs in our society, they are overshadowed by glory hogs that are better than they are.

Very interesting. I'm not sure where has this come from and why you wrote this. Yes, for sure, there are people as you have described as "Glory Hogs", like that comedian who trash-talked Sarah Huckabee Sanders for attention.

However, there are others who do not wish to be in the limelight and was just doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and yet was picked out for humiliation and attention daily by media.

People should be kinder to each other, and not be in the offensive mode when others are just doing their jobs. Some people would pick on a certain individual to offend when they should have been kind to that person.
