Pride, the Silent Killer
Their chest will still rise and fall but no life can enter in.The love of money is the root to all evil, but PRIDE the root to sin.
The man with PRIDE can't be corrected. He has no room to grow.
The PRIDEFUL man can't be enlightened, for there's nothing he doesn't already know.
He grits his teeth and roll his eyes then challenge at the drop of a hat.
Hold his head high, stick his chest out like a king that's been made fat.
PRIDE has consumed his heart and diluted his thoughts. He's always standing at guard.
To see the good talents in anyone else, for a PRIDEFUL man that's awfully hard.
No apologies are necessary. They'll never admit that they're wrong.
They'll just turn their backs and raise their voice and continue to throw their stones.
PRIDE is a disease in them, spreading like cancer, and slowly eating them to death.
No humility, meekness, compassion can come in, until the PRIDEFUL man can see himself.
PRIDE creates an illusion in the eye of its carrier and acts as a self esteem filler.
Their sight has been dimmed and some even blinded for PRIDE is the Silent Killer.
