~~~ Leaven ~~~ - Truth’s Kingdom

Casteth from thee thy pride,
And taketh thee up
The yoke of humility,

For the burden of haughtiness
Shall crush thy bones,
And, a stiffened neck
Shall riddle thy body with corrosion.

In the Light
Where all Truths are made known,
Thy contrast unto It
Shall be so apparent
That ye would choose thy won oblivion.

But should thy pride
Have been removed,
And, thy stiff neck made to turn,
Then perhaps thy glow
Would sing harmoniously with Truth
And thy steps taketh thee

Unto It’s Noble Kingdom.
