Some people only think about exalting themselves,
They want to be above someone else.
They are people who live in self-exhibition,
Things better than others are their ambition.
This whole desire is not to improve their life,
The person only wants to show off and thrive,
They see someone with something and want the best,
They see someone superior and want to be the biggest.
The person wants to have and be more in all situations,
Only superiority can generate their satisfaction.
They are blind in all their presumption,
This mad pride generates heart contamination.
This wicked pride makes them desire everything,
They want to conquer all things they see.
About their life, many evils this desire will bring,
Because at any cost, they want to elevate themselves.
They do not care if they are harming someone else.
The person has forgotten all humility,
The pride is fixed on them wholeheartedly.
The evil superiority has already grown,
Even God was forgotten by that person.
Before the Lord, they cannot be prostrating,
Because they get used to being elevated.
They no longer know the meaning of submission,
About inferiority, they have no notion.
This person needs big liberation,
Taking off all their presumptions.
Stopping all the exaggerated pride in themselves,
And before the Lord, they must humble themselves.
Understanding that life is not only conquering,
Learning the humble ones, by God, will be exalted,
And the exalted ones, by Him, will be humiliated.
