Self-satisfaction
Proverbs 14:16
16 A wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
Self-Satisfaction
Secure one goes to bed … tomorrow never comes
When I wake up it again will be today
Refreshed I will rise to beat the same old drum
Hoping that somewhere someone will pay
Happily driving on while speeding breaking laws
Ignoring all the signs on the highway of compassion
It seems to have no end and no damaging flaws
As I love this way of existing in my chosen illusion
Put on a suit on Sunday to cover wrinkled flesh
A little paint on the old barn and ready to go we are
Smiling gently and pious we will show our best
We even cleaned and vacuumed our own little cars
I’ll take a seat in the back in the house of God
A sign of humility for others to observe
The ones in front of me or they like it or not
Will be under my watchful eye: “Oh what a nerve”!
Sliding through the parking lot towards the front door
A smile placed carefully on this kisser mine
Self-made peace beyond description in the inner-core
I am a good example of religiousness sublime
The Lord is glad to have me: “The wretched man I am”
A priced possession secured by self for the Eternal
Grace long forgotten depending now on unknown mercy
As the Cross lost its power in the flesh’s love for temporal
