Of Anger and Pride

An angry man stirs up a fight,
Because he cannot see the light;
For a hothead always does wrong,
As the dark inside running strong.

Mainly from the pride deep inside,
Causing the humbleness to hide;
Making the person to feel grim,
As pride will humiliate him.

A humble spirit gains respect,
When faith is strong it will reject;
That boastful pride tries to control,
Their entire mind heart and soul.

And because of all of the strife,
Pride will make him hate his own life;
And the longer that it has growth,
Less chance to witness under oath.

There will be fear that sets a trap,
And will not be shown on his map;
Because of the personal lust,
Since in the Lord he will not trust.

Only from driving desire,
They are able to acquire;
The means to become downcast,
And being an evil outcast.
