HUMBLING PRIDE

pride of life does reign hoisting human nature’s gain toward downfall pain yon towering pride that offers triumphant ride lurks great fatal stride admitting own blight seek God’s help for righteous plight along divine light proud to be humble braced upon haughty spirit heart projects fake smile confident meekness hiding shaky fortitude melts midst shallow praise unmask arrogance repent from timid pretense with faith's blest triumph

pride is a toxin one's ego creates. Your poem aptly and beautifully describes and captures the essence of pride and the downfall it brings. Nicely done.

We fight off pride, what of those who don’t… what they miss out on…oh the treasured the Spirit showers upon those who will bend their knees. God bless you, Beata!
