Kingdom Of Entitlement

The Master warned us of pride and greed;
and all of the dangers they bring;
our souls were planted as God’s seed;
mere man is not fit to be king.

The kingdom below, where none can hide;
became a perfect, instructive environment;
through trial and error, each must decide;
and avoid the great fraud of entitlement.

But, in this kingdom of man’s insurrection;
the evil one, has taken, total control;
mankind; all are seeking the resurrection;
while fighting against the pride of the soul.

The evil one knows how to fight pride;
everyone’s freedom must be bridled;
then, each one given a permanent free ride;
demanding, that all be entitled.

Those who’ve received life, the perfect gift;
sometimes, believe they’re entitled to more;
even seeking out demons to give them a lift;
ignoring the perfection of the One they adore.

A kingdom of entitlement is destined to fail;
everyone getting everything; what’s the odds?
Think about what such a world would entail;
requiring a multiplicity of gods.

If all are entitled; who is Lord of All;
there must be a loving King to decide.
It’s said, “pride comes before the fall,”
and entitlement is the essence of pride.
