Satire: Self-righteous
Romans 10:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)
3 For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God,
and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness,
they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
Self-righteous
Giving up in moments while hanging on for dear life
Every day is an experience that imprints the real me
It seems that expectation rests on another’s effort
And when it does not go through, then to within I flee
Battles seem always fought deep within my center
Where selfishness roams and seems to lead the way
It’s where the real me resides and rules with certainty
Where the piper blinds facts as someone else must pay
Depravity there is labeled: “You have a right to be”
As I interpret its consequence, I become the receiver
I have a right to survive, for God made me this way
And that makes Him responsible for me, “the" deceiver
“God is Love, and He is Good, ” He loves everybody
That is now my motto, and I should be a leader of man
“Give me life and liberty,” for me, but not for others
They have to serve a more significant cause as I’ll show them
Jesus said: “The greatest will be he, who serves the most.”
I agree with that, as I let others do the serving.
I’ll be the recipient so that others will be better
As I gather the rewards that I think I'm deserving
In the end, my friend, I’ll be standing tall
Every knee will bow, but I am the exception
For I am so exceptional, I answered the call
To serve the "self," I'm entirely in my selection
