Unassailable Purity

Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart, for his purity, by definition, is unassailable. ~Author James Baldwin Humans drown themselves in ego by thinking they're worth the honorable title, "I am among the innocent upon earth." There has been no human born since Jesus, of pure divinity His life was never sullied, nor blemished by corruptibility Angels sang of His innocence, chaste and immaculate virtue for men of all nations give way to temptations. This is true We are flawed with faults. Underserving the seat on a throne To claim we have untainted rectitude, I could never condone Unassailable purity is not a phrase any human can live up to. If one thinks he has irreproachable decency, don't misconstrue such a self-centered thought as one of the meek and humble The pure of heart has impeccable integrity and will not stumble One who believes he's great is one I would chide and berate for that one hungers for power and glory that he will never sate Insidious, the hypocrite who claims innocence. He will find grief in assuming he is sacrosanct, for that would be a profane belief
