GLOAT GOAT <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

01-30-2025<\/p>\n

Why do you constantly fight and bite,
\nTrying to prove you are always right?
\nYou act like such a proud know-it-all,
\nAnd you gloat as your opponents fall.<\/p>\n

Is winning a debate your only true goal,
\nWhile you wound a brother in his soul?
\nYour words are simply cruel and mean,
\nClearly the worst that I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

You are very lacking in God\u2019s real love,
\nNo, not a reflection of our Father above.
\nIs it any wonder folks run the other way,
\nAnd do not care what you have to say?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to get smart & be more humble,
\nElse God may give you one huge tumble,
\nSo please repent now and make amends,
\nAnd pray this will be how your story ends.<\/p>\n

For a haughty spirit comes before a fall,
\nTrust me, friend, you will not like it at all.
\nGod\u2019s punishments can indeed be tough,
\nBut He\u2019ll slam you till you\u2019ve had enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
