Pride

Do not wear pride like a necklace
For God detests pride and arrogance 

Pride does not go unpunished 
Pride leads to disgrace 

Humility is rewarded with wisdom 
While pride begets destruction

Cause it  takes credit for God’s accomplishments
And covets God’s glory 


Pride demeans others
It arrogates sense of Almightiness
To a mere mortal 

Pride stifles growth of other virtues
Makes one to reject help needed

Prevents one to listen and help others
And deludes one into believing 

In one’s self sufficiency 
But in reality Pride is admission of weakness

Pride leads to  extreme selfishness 
Pride does not gratify 

Pride does not exulte 
Rather it dehumanizes and belittles
