Conduct is Crucial

Boasting better than  
a model of perfection  
pompous superiority  
yet void of all connection  

Adorning prideful ego  
arrogant attitude  
claiming significance  
in self-righteous solitude  
 
Alone in your conceit  
ungrateful for your mercies  
debasing ideals of prominence  
creating controversies  
 
Convinced of independence  
but lonely, isolated  
obvious desertion  
by those you were acquainted  
 
…  
 
Virtues may differ  
just as night and day  
but surely my values  
I cannot betray  
 
Carrying no disdain  
perceiving deepest fear  
offering prayers  
wholehearted and sincere  
 
Wishing compassion  
humility to embrace  
with earnest desire  
may you ascertain grace
