At The Temptation Of Self-Righteousness

Let every soul agree and testify
that all self-righteousness equals one lie.
That lie---how shall we spell
its essence? Start with ' L '
(they double that in Hell),
and finish with the ego's favorite vowel sound, ' I '

Hrmm...but being right or feeling right is such an ego boost. It's a terrible thing to admit but you know what I mean.

Nice work.
