Yeah! He is 'better' than everyone,
Can never be warned nor advised by anyone,
On top of the rest he sits, and stands too,
His opinion is what matters above the rest,
Ever richer, ever cleverer, ever better than all,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
Ever competing to win is his way,
Never accepting defeat and never losing at any moment,
Has neither brother nor sister, who can afford to be his equal?
No one is equal to him, in the palace he lives,
How can he ever be wrong? he is ever ‘right’
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He is the utmost evil and the central-top of it all,
He got into Satan and gave him a new identity,
He leads his friends; anger, greed, unchastity... Name them,
He is always ahead and will always be; he claims,
He is anti-God and anti His ways,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
Give him room and he will put you on 'top',
He cares not; all he wants is to be in control, more power he seeks,
Give him room and like a balloon he will inflate you,
He will 'place' you higher than Everest; he has to be higher of all,
He is evil, he control-dominates and he cares not at all,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He will 'lift' you higher than all,
Rejoicing in identity and purpose take-overs; ruling man is his delight,
With him you will be on 'top' and the rest will be below,
Making you enemy to all especially his hosts,all long to be above all,
Like him never you care not what others say provided they remain below,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He counts it success not in just having, but having more than the rest,
He is responsible for all the misery in the world but that bothers him not,
He is the most competitive of all other vices of his father's family,
Never moved by needs but rather his evil wants to be on top of all,
His biggest victory is being better, richer and more powerful,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He will go on and on for he knows no satisfaction,
Soon as you give him room he will destroy you as he wishes,
Will lift you 'higher' than all though after emptying you of all your
virtues,
Will cause misery among you and your friends in his dominating ego,
Will always promise you a higher position even when you are on top,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He hangs out with one big friend, two indeed they do; enmity and hate,
Always meaning enmity between men to each other and also to the Creator,
He is always looking down to things and to people too, he know not worship,
His master sends him to any person as he works to devour all,
He will destroy you and give you the evil power,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He dwells wherever and whenever he is hosted,
In the young and in the old, in the poor and in the rich,
In leaders and in their followers has he a big voice of dominance,
To them of religion and to them 'without' religion he comfortably sits,
Wherever he dwells he destroys all the virtues however deep rooted,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
One he counts as the biggest enemy, he cares not much however,
His enemy fights him daily in his glory called truth,
He has more servants than him and so his enemy scares him not at all,
His enemy's name is called humility, he is good contrary to pride who is evil,
Pride has his 'power' and humility too has his power,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
His 'enemy' comes direct from God's heaven,
He; Pride comes direct from Satan's hell,
Humility leads on a path called servant-hood and love is her fuel,
He leads on a path called control-dominance and hate is her fuel,
He is not scared of her 'enemy' for he has more willing followers than him,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
Give his enemy room and he will disappear immediately though not forever,
He disappears with all he had put in man when humility sets in he sets off,
Everything he has given you of the world he takes with him even the false
Identity,
He can never give you anything heavenly, but the entire world is 'yours'
minus the soul
His chains are so tight lifting the outer man higher and killing the inner
man slowly,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
He is pride, he never gives up on anyone, and he and his motives are equally
evil,
To all who seek him; he will always avail himself to destroy anyway,
He will ensure you have no room for humility to settle in you,
He will never lose for he is pride, he knows not contentment,
His evil desires will keep you ‘above’; he will give you false identity to
destroy you,
He is pride and he cares not as long as he has more.
Have you any chance above him to purposeful living?
He thinks you don’t and so he never lets you accept you have hosted him,
He knows the first step to fighting him is in acknowledging you have him,
Soon as you know his tricks, expose him and look up to the heavens and he will leave,
When the heavenly light shines in you from above, his ‘enemy’ humility
arrives,
Humility will destroy pride and destroy his roots giving you lasting
contentment.
