In the grand design of the celestial test,

The Divine watches over, crafting quests.

They lift you high with hands unseen,

To observe your heart, both kind and keen.

😈😈😈

As you climb the heights, feeling so grand,

Thinking you’re beyond, with fate in your hand.

The eyes above see beyond your sight,

Your deeds are known, both wrong and right.

😈😈😈

Will you extend a hand to those in need,

Or trample others with ruthless greed?

Will kindness guide your every deed,

Or will power blind you, plant the seed?

😈😈😈

Just quoting scriptures and wearing a mask,

Doesn’t make you righteous in the task.

True righteousness lies in actions true,

Not just in words or the mask you construe.

😈😈😈

kindness ascends

😈😈😈

On this journey, if scorn you sow,

Hearts you’ve torn, will come to know.

When your path takes a downward bend,

Alone you’ll be, with nary a friend.

😈😈😈

Those trampled on as you climbed so high,

Won’t be there as you bid goodbye.

The Divine observes, with gaze so true,

To see if love or power defines you.

😈😈😈

Remember this as you seek the sky

Treat others with care, let kindness fly.

Ascend with grace or fall with regret,

In kindness, you’ll pass the Divine’s test.
