Haughty Display Drove Humpty Dumpty To His Fall
Humpty Dumpty starred in a nursery rhyme…
His fall accordingly was the talk at that time
Soon it was labeled as a mysterious crime
Needing solution thru wisdom’s prime!
Here am I submitting my document
Compliant to prudent investigative requirement.
The facts are now ready for scrutiny’s engagement
Detailing Humpty Dumpty’s story-development.
“Humpty, my dear son,” called Mr. Dumpty
“You’re blessed with gracious bounty;
Use it well, share it; spend it not in vanity
Enjoy life; trust God as the supreme Authority.”
That was the senior Dumpty’s fatherly admonition
When Humpty would pursue his college education.
As a young lad raring to experience bliss’ satisfaction
He plunged into the pleasures of world exploration.
Here and there, he flaunted his father’s wealth-anchored business
Declared himself a billionaire’s heir of fortune-highness.
Thus, he lived as a one-day millionaire, lured in wantonness
“Sky is the limit…” he asserted, oblivious of wastage-darkness.
With his decision to follow the prodigal son’s route
He, with displayed self-conceit, would sat on the wall of arrogance-bout
That paved the way to his great downfall and knock-out
Making him the vanquished braggadocio champion without a doubt.
Then his father learned of his son’s misery
He prayed for Humpty’s rescue from pride’s territory
Believing, with faith in the Lord, for victory
Ensuring his son’s deliverance against haughtiness’ fatal injury.
The Almighty God’s power worked triumphantly
Humpty Dumpty, from brokenness, repented humbly
Midst love and grace, he sought for forgiveness sincerely
Miraculously, he received peace while grieving terribly.
Restored, he returned to his father who was waiting for his arrival
They had a glorious reunion along a grand festival
Proclaiming “Case Solved!” for Humpty Dumpty’s survival…
In their family, that was a great revival!
The nursery rhyme can now be “Humpty Dumpty walked in the light*…
Humpty Dumpty ascended toward faith’s height
Thru the Sovereign King’s might
Humpty Dumpty did what was right!”
*Isaiah 2:5 ...Let us walk in the light of the LORD.
