engulfed in his pretentious attitude,
scratched to the top of the heap,
intending all he acquired to keep.
Hiding in his lavish penthouse tower
exerting forth his man-made power,
deliberately denying the very ones
called, by God, daughters and sons.
Assured his conduct stood aloof
from bearing a burden of reproof,
presumptuously, without remorse,
he seldom assessed his chosen course.
Calamity came upon him quickly,
suddenly he turned pale and sickly,
his fragile dynasty slithered away,
and his world crumbled to disarray.
Another man, hiding in the shadows,
behind radiant stained glass windows,
attaining to a seat among the wise,
smiled and watched the other’s demise.
This man walks not among the innocent,
but stands guilty of wrongful intent,
for he, like many, repaid evil with evil,
not once for the lost soul making appeal.
Two men must turn from their wisdom
for entrance into the eternal kingdom,
for no man peering into the Savior’s eyes,
can harbor lies or wear masks of disguise.
God examines the heart of each one,
looking for the reflection of His Son.
Did you love, as yourself, your neighbor
or choose this simple command to ignore?
