THE ECHO RETURNS NOT

Silent is the echo as pride shouts selfishness causing pouts... self-conceit triumphs over jealousy bouts self-glory reigns with discontentment clouts self-reliance wavers upon attacking doubts self-pity maneuvers toward false humility-routes… The echo returns not indeed... as self-sufficiency does arrogantly succeed self-exaltation declares me-I-my-mine creed self-inflicting pain midst guilt continues to breed self-denial actually hoists covetousness and greed self-love matters most, not recognizing God with His deed.

"self-exaltation declares me-I-my-mine creed self-inflicting pain midst guilt continues to breed self-denial actually hoists covetousness and greed self-love matters most, not recognizing God with His deed." Beata, your observations are so very right. Enjoyed this wonderfully rhyming poem. All the best, dear friend.
