Best Self Conceit Poems


Premium Member 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
         ...

Premium Member Not Much More To Say
Now night hangs heavy
over me.

And meanwhile,
I am alone.
Lost in the past.

Why do I stare at you, in my mind,
with your dark eyes living velvet
in which I lose myself?
My fate's contained in yours.

Let us be extremely frank
and speak the truth about ourselves --
share our anxieties together...

Why
Why man is so scared of solitary Hina?
But is ready to devastate with someone!
Oh this dilemmatic notion slaves my mind to think
Please don’t mention its love, it is never prejudiced,
Not self-conceit either, then what is it Hina?
Just have a look around please
Whatever it is, is...

Premium Member Haughty Display Drove Humpty Dumpty To His Fall
Humpty Dumpty starred in a nursery rhyme…
His fall accordingly was the talk at that time
Soon it was labeled as a mysterious crime
Needing solution through wisdom’s prime!

Here am I submitting my document
Compliant to prudent investigative requirement.
The facts are now ready for scrutiny’s engagement  
Detailing Humpty...

Premium Member Blessed Servant
Blessed

I’m God-loved, grace-nourished, Bible-upheld, faith-propelled

A forgiven sinner, beloved sister, volunteer teacher, cheerful care-giver

I like to share the Gospel, disciple students, write poems for Christ...

Offended am I with self-conceit, discontentment, and hypocrisy

I fear displeasing my King, wasting time, being a stumbling block 

I pray to see...

Premium Member The Crime and Curse of Cain
God, you said to offer a lamb,
but your wish puts me in a jam.
Why kill a lamb? I am no brute,
I’ll sacrifice instead some fruit.

Like Lucifer in heaven on high,
you view me with an evil eye.
His prideful heart and selfish will
in time your sulking soul...

Premium Member Yielding To the Divine Transformer
I yield
my self-conceit
…disguised…
as sheer meekness;  
false humility
radiating
deceit,
needing God
for His pardon.

Here am I
surrendered
to Christ's love and might
ready to be transformed
through His divine nature*...
Albeit a snake
tamed am I graciously 
by the Sovereign Charmer...
Grateful, my heart praises Him!

*2Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and...

Premium Member A False Step Can Lead To a Fall
Madam Merry, the Principal of the school
Contrary to her name was neither merry nor cool
Igniting sparks of fear, she remained a terror
No wonder, students looked upon her in horror

There was an uncontrollable anger streak
In her genetic makeup! When it reached an all time peak
There was...

Sequel To Hollow Commenting
My words are pert and curt
and right in right that's hurt
give them space or get disgraced
I am infallible do not come around my poems
give me my medicine and send me on pace.

If you do, I am teeth gnash and bare
take it bad like a scum...

Rebirth of Worth
REBIRTH OF WORTH

Self conceit is thought a trait to be deplored
Despised when recognised in self or others
And modesty is praised with full accord
Instilled in us by Dutch uncles and mothers

Yet if you choose to go with the inverse
Self hating makes the pairing - a dichotomy...

Praise
Praise, a chronic disease
Ruins humanity
Increases sugar in blood
Spreads intoxicants in artery
Hangs a curtain before eyes
Hides truth.

Mind dips in self-enchanting
Always seeks false praising words
Credits
Clappings
Honours
Rewards
All treasures of materialistic world !
Mind guides the human
Mind commands the soul
Instigated by mind, human
Swims in the whirlpool of illusion
Hankers after pride and...

Light
Into dense darkness
Thick quiet nothingness
Almighty God spoke light

Perhaps angels trumpeted praises with singing
Perhaps a profound silence revered the aura

     Perhaps it was then the radiant vision was born
     The Light of the World

We Have Been Here Before
Though years slip by through time
  if you live long enough and rewind;
  you get to see that history
  is ever a  repetitive cyclic mystery.

Refugees and immigrants raped
  always seeking some escape
  when faith, land, house and home

Conceited
You say your love is legit while on a another mans lap you sit.
I see your jealousy and patience when i don't blow a fit.
So I give you what another man won't.
A pretty noose around your neck.
So you can hang with a desperate man with...
