Pride

Pride lies awake at night burning its fire

Gathering heat to inject your desire

Pride stokes competition that flames up in greed

Pitting man against man to see who will succeed

Pride breeds in our mind it sings tunes in our heart

Preaching total control of our world as we start

To believe we are better or bigger or not

Till we are pierced through with its well placed shot

Pride is the mother of all other sins

If you’re fed on her milk there is no way to win

You'll be bloated so fast by consuming the lie

Then burst with contention to snap every tie

Give pride an inch it’ll drag you for miles

Spin you out of control; leave your value in piles

From shore to shore to peak to pungent alley

Dig in your heels it’s the devils road rally
