He who is complacent
Is self-focused to a fault.
He's really rather comfortable,
And his reasons will exalt.
He doesn't see the need for change.
He's pleased with self... and smug.
He's closed his eyes to truth,
Is content and feeling "snug".
His eyes are blind, his ears are deaf,
His mind is clouded o'er.
He simply likes the way he is,
And change will not explore.
Complacency will always fail.
It has no firm foundation.
But if it opes it's shackled eyes
Will find sound motivation.
"Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."
Proverbs 1:31 KJV
