What at all do we resolutely take pride in
Our achievements and our material possessions?
Is our life only worth the meaningless riches
That we wish to pursue, without disheartening glitches?
Our successes live on forever in our memories
Our time is spent in defeating adversaries
We are consumed by revelry with our wins
Even if it only viciously compounds our sins
Is this the true value of our gullible souls?
That generosity and empathy we cannot uphold
What we then aspire for is the shine of artificial gold
While we forget our true missions as life unfolds
True pride should be in integrity and humility
Large-heartedness, philanthropy and moral dignity
When we answer to the calling of divine consciousness
And let go of ambition, greed and seek contriteness
That we must view corruption with heightened levity
That we must seek utmost spiritual purity
Only our pride in goodness will save us from the precipice
Of damnation, and secure for us eternal happiness
