False Triumph
We always assume,
Claiming success
Maybe it’s the fume
Of pure conceit
We gloat a lot
Victory at hand
Come to think of it
Bags are empty
We lavish and feast
With our day’s catch
Eel and a fish
Tomorrow none
Blinded by moon beam
Attracted by our own
Glow that fades when
The sun comes up
