The Ignorance Of Arrogance

There is no limit to the foolishness of pride;
for it is the main cause of ignorance;
preventing much wisdom, from getting inside;
blaming mistakes as mere circumstance.

Whenever we think we’re the top playing card;
someone reshuffles the deck;
many thoughts of reality are just a canard;
of life’s entirety, we’re just a fleck.

We are mere ants; on top of an anthill;
caterpillars weaving our coccoon;
mere flecks of thought of the Master’s will;
a thought, in our mother’s womb.

We are but a solitary blade of grass;
in a world, teeming with meadows;
frequently displaying our lack of class;
naked thoughts; covered with clothes.

What makes us become puffed up with pride;
a balloon; filled with hot air;
what allows arrogance to grow inside;
how do we deign to dare?

We exist on the surface of a spinning ball;
knowing not, from where, we come;
ignoring entreats from the Lord of All;
enjoying the warmth of his sun.

What ignorant fool, bites the hand that feeds?
The Master sees our anthill from above;
arrogance can never supply all of our needs;
so, the Master sends us His Love.
