Pride

Do not wear pride like a necklace For God detests pride and arrogance Pride does not go unpunished Pride leads to disgrace Humility is rewarded with wisdom While pride begets destruction Cause it takes credit for God’s accomplishments And covets God’s glory Pride demeans others It arrogates sense of Almightiness To a mere mortal Pride stifles growth of other virtues Makes one to reject help needed Prevents one to listen and help others And deludes one into believing In one’s self sufficiency But in reality Pride is admission of weakness Pride leads to extreme selfishness Pride does not gratify Pride does not exulte Rather it dehumanizes and belittles
