TITLE: Pouncing Pride By Bonnie Levesque 04/19/04 |
LEAVE COMMENT ON ARTICLE SEND A PRIVATE COMMENT SEND ARTICLE TO A FRIEND |
Struts across the open plain of man's heart.
Then
Laying in wait, gathering strength like a mighty, hurricane
It strikes
Crushing bonds, leaving for dead.
Pouncing Pride
Always knows just where to punch
Always knows just when to kick
Always knows just what to choke.
Leaving black, emptiness where there was such promise.
Such light.
Pouncing Pride
Keeps
Swirling, whirling incessantly.
As its' winds howl
Homes are broken
families torn asunder,
friends lost.
Pouncing Pride
Has entered a man's heart
Taken him down
To his gutted self
To his ruination.
Pouncing Pride
is a robber.
Robbing us
of our place
in our Father's world.
When Pouncing Pride is finally brought to its knees
Yielding
acquiescing
his way to Humble Honor in a man's heart
Our Father's World is lifted up.
And, all heaven and earth rejoice
For trully
This is my Father's world
In Humble Honor.
