Self-Righteous Soliloquy



I’m very proud of my self-righteous stripes,
I’ve given more alms than you have my whole life
My self-flaggelations is more painful than anybody’s are
	I’m sure that in heaven, 
my name is neon blinking on the brightest star 
My wool is so much whiter than yours,
my spiritual requests goes higher towards heaven
off the faith prayer springboard
I’m just so much more righteous
than you’ll ever be
I know I have a VIP spot
reserved in heaven for me
I love talking to myself endlessly everyday,
	and I must say,
I give a mighty fine sermonizing soliloquy
My wool is so much more winter whiter than yours,
it lets my sins get cleansed faster 
	than anybody else’s of course
I’m tickled pink,
I’m blue in the face pleased
that I’m not like that pitiful soul
mournfully standing afar off from me
			I’m no extortioner ...
		    I’m no adulterer ...
	I’m no sinful publican ...
I’m an upright, self-righteous God fearing man
Me just love praying to myself several times a day,
	it gives me goose bumps
hearing such a solemn, holier-than-thou soliloquy
No one can tell me
that my wool ain’t snow whiter than yours
Welcome to my self-righteous shrine,
may I give you another paid in crass tour?

Well spoken contrast to make your very poignant point. As Jesus said, the pharisees too fair (pretty) to see.

Ty, Charlie. But the fella in this poem is purely tongue-in-cheek not me. Gotta be more humble than him, eh. Appreciate the love, brother. Love and joy always.
