The Pity of Pride

The Pity of Pride

A Poem by Joost

The Pity of Pride

Hey, Mr. Know It All
Where is your wisdom now?
When love's forsaken you,
and you still don't bow.
What is it, you protect
with ice-cold intellect?
You search for pleasure in pain
Mr. Dance in the Rain.
Your pridy is a pity,
you play your part like a King
who subjects his servants
while Himself he's observant to Sin
Who's the burglar within?
That thief in the Night,
stealing the gist of your dreams
through a paralyzed fright.
It's a quiet burn,
but nevertheless
It hurts as the silence
that can not express.
Where's the giggle, the laugh?
Mr. Whisp in the Dark
I miss the spark in your eyes
Beautiful Innocent Heart
under the scars of Divide.
Mr. Larger than Life
It's time..
to depart from your Pride.
