Poetry

A false balance is abomination to the Lord,
A just weight is His delight if not ignored;
When pride comes then also comes shame,
As in striving forward to fortune and fame;
For the wisdom seems to take a back seat,
Feeling alright any time they lie and cheat;
The integrity of the righteous as a guide,
To those allowing God be within to abide.
Our pride stands between us and our God,
That causes you deceit tries to defraud;
Any possible warning turning you blind,
Blocking righteous thoughts in your mind;
Only thoughts of how it can benefit you,
Caring less for any other point of view;
Pride also can make you extremely vain,
That causes you to become very disdain;
Vanity is a self love hiding in your ego,
Has built a wall for a Heavenly embargo;
Let the integrity of God to enter within,
For curing pride and humbleness begin.
