Ingredients of Character

Ingredients of Character 

Does envy in disguise exist there?
Boastfulness? Pride?

Do they sell the innocent for silver 
And the needy for a pair of sandals?
Ingredients o Character 

The proud and ungrateful who denied
The oppressed justice.

Lovers of pleasure and self, the swift
will not escape one's overpowering 
Anyone will not mobilize their strength 
And encouragement will bear the same
Attitude and mind towards each other.
Ingredients of Character 

Disobedience: do they not know how
To do what's right?
Ingredients of Character 

One's growth of one's expectations, beliefs, 
Persistence, affection, and love will be tried
And tested.
Ingredients of Character
