The Overtaking of Such Things

Pride is the undoing of nations,
Greed is the death of the hearts of men,
Envy is the mother of death,
And lies are told to grant false hope.

When we allow such things to befall us,
Our minds become the Devil's sanctuary,
Laden with false hope, false dreams,
Rendered powerless and useless,
And we become our own worst enemies.

We begin to let fear of the rising of,
Humble men,
Selfless men,
Loving men,
And truthful men,
Men who have the power of God behind them,
Overtake us.

All...
Because...
We...
Let...
Pride influence our actions,
Greed influence our hearts,
Envy influence our minds,
And lies influence our thoughts.
