How Loud is Your I - Nauseating Selfishness, Self Absorbed, Self Exalting
How loud is your I
Yes, that's a question?
In other words, how loud
Do you defend yourself?
How loud do you uplift self?
How loud and long do you
Assert and exert yourself
In an effort to lord yourself
Over others, sisters, and brothers?
Acquaintances, any and all people
Within close proximity of proud you
Coercing, telling people what to do
Pushing, shoving, and rarely loving
Faintly yielding, never simply letting
People be happy, nor live authentically
On the contrary, do you seek to control?
Dictate your will and contaminate the soul?
If so, then you and the devil has often stole
Time, talents, energy, resources, and life
From precious people created in God's image
Brutal and belligerent, you're marred visage
Insecure and ignanimous bearing reproach
As you try to live with yourself and cope
Playing superior and pontificating royally
It is you my dear who are actually the dope
Perhaps you need to cleanse your heart
Also your abrasive mouth with some soap
Reckon your impolite attitude perilous
Warm others and harness yourself before
You try to intrude, invade, and collude
To usurp authority to make decisions
For others for whom you truly have no say
Arrogant one your stubborness is in the way
Just die to your pride, ego, and almighty I
Cut the emotional attachment and tendency
Tendency to continually control and maneuver
This habitual manner smells like the worst maneur
What a foul odor it emits. Can't you just kindly quit!
Bug off and stop being a nuisance and foul pest
Live and love unconditionally, accepting the rest
Get out of the way and let life occur spontaneously
Give others grace and liberty to live their life freely.
