Even Fools Have Pride

Even fools have pride, it's as plain as the nose on your face,

They think their human hearts can control the whole human race;

It's not a matter of being bright to understand the need,

But being stubborn or kind of pigheaded in how they lead or read.

.

Even fools have pride, it's another case of par for the course,

They think and intertwine with people so they are the sole source;

It may be ego maniacal to think you're better than someone else,

And it's a misunderstanding to have such high opinion of yourself.

.

Even fools have pride, because no one will show them the truth,

And their big heads get swollen without any logical proof;

It may well not be a condemnation to seek and save the lost,

And a fool has pride continually because he never counts the cost.

.

Even fools have pride, it takes the vernacular right out of the word,

They think they're in transparent in the eyes of the rest of the world;

It seems nothing will do to set them right in the sight of others,

Because even a fool has pride just like all our sisters and brothers.

.

Even fools have pride, it is strange to keep going down this track,

They think only of themselves with no hope of Jesus coming back;

It may be like contemplation on what life is really all about,

Even a fool can be forgiven when his pride leads himself to doubt.

.

Even fools have pride, I think I might fall into that category myself,

They think just like I, that they have read all the books on the shelf;

It may be a contradiction of terms discussing and writing this along,

If even fools have pride there's nothing left but right and wrong.

Signed,

What if I really care.
