Only the pompous and pedantic self-righteous go
straight to heaven, that is self-evident - a few are
already living heaven on earth given their belief in
their own rights & goodness, and let's be honest -
their saintliness - given how they stride with great
self-esteem forwards - and
They're probably right - they only have one failing:
their holiness causes OTHERS to fall into sin, the
self-righteous are sand under our teeth, their total
disregard for others who only exist to admire them
as we're ill-disciplined and stripped of any claim to
a place under the sun
The righteousness of the self-righteous mows all of
us unholy heathens down - out of their blessed way,
we traverse the Via Dolorosa as these Mighty Self-
Righteous march forward with determination, scales
of Justice tied to their belts ready for use to measure
the lack of worth of the sinners around, with an etheric
Smile I stop singing - the Self-Righteous can continue
their righteous discourse in peace in their self-created
world free from any kind of sin, other people are selfish
hypocrites the Self-Righteous say and then cough with
the dignity of their worthiness - what an enviable group:
why can't I admire them enough to rise on their morally,
Ethically righteous escalator straight to heaven; Oh yes,
it's because I like being me with all my shortcomings &
weird ideas and since self-righteousness gives me the
creeps after living within the circle of their divine self-
appointed & self-toting goodness…
