The Substances of Deceit
The substances of deceit have so many faces
Vanity and Pride
must you embolden the hearts of the races
with flattering words to enlarge your shock
while spreading your feathers like the proud peacock?
Down with thee Pride! O heart of stone
Whose eyes of vanity can see no wrong
Whose golden image is shredded in self
Strip thy god til you see your wealth!!
Why must you be so stubborn O foolish Pride?
Vanity won't die until you admit Deceit lied
