Comparison: bitter and cruel thief of joy

Discontent’s dissonance, unending noise

A tempting tincture, a chalice of lies

Drink to insanity, or swallow your pride

Comparison: ego’s relentless massage

Your gnostic hubristic self-serving lavage

If only they were so enlightened as you

Alas, no peasant can do what you do

Comparison: now through a Biblical lens

Utterly impotent, hopeless, condemned

With right view of God, and right view of self

Incomparable grace will save you from hell
