1. When we tear down another’s worth, It’s our own weakness we unearth. Appeals to man, disdain for God, A hollow path, a shallow fraud.

% Verse 2:
What’s valuable in me, I know, Is not from self, but grace bestowed. If my hands build, it’s not my own, But proof of seeds another’s sown.

The spider spins its fragile thread, From silken lies the fly has said. Each word a snare, each thought confined, A tangled trap of prideful mind.

% Verse 3:
The fly drifts toward decay, unwise, Its words a beacon for demise. The spider, stubborn, clings to lies, And in its web, it too will die.

Believe in good, though eyes may fail, For what we see is just the veil. The unseen shapes what will prevail, Truth is the wind that fills the sail.

If life were worthless, it wouldn’t rise, Nor stars be born to light the skies. But choice exists, and so does blame, And truth remains a steady flame.

May our words not seek decay, Nor prideful webs to lead astray. Let truth reshape, let wisdom guide, Beyond the traps of foolish pride.
