PRIDE


Pride can be very deceiving, where thoughts are socking in poison
Roaring like the sea turns greed
Off one goes trying to make a show in arrogance
Vital is one's life that is given
Ear for you to hear the Voice of THEE
Rest your head and think about what is best
Bad things happen to one with too much PRIDE
SIN.

Poetic Judy Emery © 1994
The Queen Of Darken Dreams Poetic Lilly Emery

PROVERBS 16:18-19

18. Pride goes before destruction, and
a haughty spirit before a fall.
19. It is better to be of a lowly spirit
with the poor than to divide the spirit
with the proud.
