Deadly Pride
Is it a sin to feel pride?
I hear it can be deadly
But let us put that aside
I don’t choose to commit a medley
To me sin is neither here nor there
If you look around it’s everywhere
Just pick out your sin du jour
Allow me to take you on a tour
There’s pride, envy, greed
Anger and laziness,
Though not in the lead
Don’t forget gluttony and lust
Those two are almost a must!
Are you feeling more normal,
A part of the crowd?
I hear there are some folks
Who won’t repeat them outloud
I guess pride is leader of the pack
But please, cut me some slack
Have you really never felt a tad smug
Never felt like you’ve found a new drug?
If pride is the worst sin you’ve done
Well you haven’t lived
Haven’t had any fun
So the next time you’re tempted
And wanna give it your all
Don’t forget the famed Proverb:
Pride goeth before a fall
