Despising Authority
Mankind has a great aversion
refusing authority’s commanding rule
thinking they always know best
but in reality they’re not really cool
The human heart is filled with pride
authority has to make pride break
overpowering it to keep it down
showing who’s boss and no fake
God’s the absolute authority
no human one can really compare
for the eternal one is truly king
man’s in comparison’s really bare
But mankind continues to despise
all kinds of authority bar none
not realising God reigns supreme
on the final; day man can’t run!
('No one despises human authority unless he first despises divine authority'
- Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) puritan theologian.)
