Simplicity and care
Affords
Longevity;
Haughtiness will
Blind
The pupil
Unforgiving souls suffers
From their own hand-carved scars
But those forgiving, nurtures
The very ground on which we stand.

They are commoners she said, not my type.
I am one of the commoners, and not impressed.
Where did your haughtiness come from? I ask her.
Not from my side of the family I hope!
From Daddy, she says. I glare at him.
He shrugs, wanting always to be the king....

Black
is the darkness
midnight without lights
wet dirt turn to mud
quite
exhaust haughtiness
a evil beating heart
grape
plum
raisin
cactus breath
a rose statue
skeleton
peace and calm
is the darkness Black

arrogance
                   insolent, hoity-toity
          domineering, flawing, insulting
haughtiness, pomposity, humbleness, grace
            groveling, praising, craving
                   profound, modest
                          humility...

M-ay you say yes, 
E-xpress your conformity; 
R-egarding God's command, 
C-ompletely obey the Almighty. 
E-arly morn fourth of July, 
D-on't say no to the Father; 
E-ternal life is at stake, 
S-tay away from God's anger. 

B-e lowly, humble, and meek, 
A-im not at haughtiness; 
L-ord God will elevate you, 
O-nce you say 
Y-es....

Shanita’s face was a map of confidence and strength.
At seventeen, she exuded a majestic feeling, without any haughtiness.
I knew she would master any avenue or occupation that appealed.
Years later I ran into Shanita once again.
Her self-assured face told me immediately …..
She was successful in every area of her life.
She did not have to say it; I could see it in her walk.
And the way she greeted everyone with respect....

Stance of humble pride and fear’s courageousness
Exposed, yet covered in victory 
Clothed yet bare of haughtiness
Bold, bearing all, revealing naught
Humble, hiding all,  concealing  nothing
Hands stong yet gentle
Hands created for both chaos and calm
Eyes blazing, gazing off into the abyss 
 Silently shouting 
“Dear LORD, where else must I go,
 who else must i conquer  
 to capture your heart?”
