high horse definition. To be on one’s “high horse” is to be disdainful or conceited: “Sally got tired of Peter’s snobbery and finally told him to get off his high horse.” The American Heritage® New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. Copyright © 2005 by Houghton Mifflin Company.
I really liked this poem so thought I’d share…. It’s a pity some among us don’t play by the same set of rules they expect everyone else to play by…
Enjoy.
Get Off Your High Horse
by Lioness Dec 26, 2011
Your ignorance
and pretentious thoughts
hide the reality that you are nothing
but a speck of dirt
A meaningless matter of smaller proportion
with an egotistic mind-set
of a larger scale –
to which I am grateful that I
no longer associate myself with
Oh how I would love for
your chauvinistic elements –
to be paraded so that your
moulded imperfections
are exposed
Lead by a horse –
you’re reaching for the summit
of Mount Everest
for now…
You can kiss my gluteus maximus
Because it’s time
to step down from Seabiscuit
and face the undoubted truth
That you
are no longer wanted
or loved by me
