Weighed But Found Lacking

Like a fly nestled on the cow's back Deceived that it's taller than its real size Arrogance cannot see what it really lacks And cannot perceive the plank from its eyes. Proud to declare superiority And quick to pronounce sweeping judgements, Arrogance needs little remedy In making its rules laid in sentiments. With sight shaded by a controlling Self All others dim from importance. Like a book occupying a whole shelf - All written work pale in its Dominance. But 'the humble will be exalted, And as 'pride goes before destruction' The lowly writers may soon be read - While the arrogant led to oblivion. 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'
