Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Many say to themselves,
"What will become of me?"
They are unsure of their identity
Lacking necessary certainty
To be secure within and live harmoniously
Unable to submit to appropriate authority
They grossly react with anger and hostility
Aggravating themselves and others internally
Frustrating the means of promotion and elevation
Defiantly like an unbroken horse
Going in the wrong direction
Authority that is for their own betterment
Like a gnarling dog that bites
The master's hand that feeds them
They oppose themselves by resisting their friend
Internally falsely perceiving and demonizing
The person placed in their life to be a blessing
Hence their defiance and inability to submit
Is cause for them to be frustrated and quit
As they drive away the person they most need
Erect barriers which they think will protect
Their fragile personhood as they neglect
The God-given authority sent to detect
Their flaws and struggles, to lift them up
Over and above them, wisely take them through
All the pain and torment, while telling them what to do
But no! You've got to have it your way
Project yourself as the know-it-all
Because of your pride and self-sufficiency
You arrogantly alone shall fall
Though you think yourself to be standing tall
Get ready for soon there shall come a great fall
It's amazing how much you can learn
After you seemingly know it all
It's ironic how humanity likes to brawl
With God's delegated authority
Parents, teachers, and employers
Police, mayors, and governors
Why is it we prefer to criticize
Shun authority and despise?
Perhaps it is ourselves we deeply abhor
Submitting to authority however opens the door
To countless blessings and increased understanding
When then will we learn humility and stop purporting?
Rebellion to appropriate authority is self-defeating.
