CHOICES







Life is a bundle of choices
You could stay where you are; or dare to go the extra mile
You could covet greedily or cherish contentment with gain
You could kill; meanwhile thou should also one day die            
You could give life and thou would one day live

To be kind; it lieth in thy hands
Brutality is also an item in life’s shopping cart
To oppress might be a worthy line for you
The oppressed also have a choice to make life unbearable for you
Sacrifice and pleasure are life’s alternates too

To respect all will do you good but that’s a choice
To disregard and dishonour all is a choice that has its own reward too
If you paint the world beautiful that’s a choice
If you trample upon it; ugly outcomes will paint you
Wonderful Alternates dwelling daily with you, choose some, others you cancel

For the future you could see the light or sight gloom
It all depends on you; and your choices too
For a much better tomorrow, it all depends on you
What are the tools, source, and books currently moulding you?
Sing a song of joy; cry a dirge, love above all, choices are wonderful

OUR WORLD: FAR FROM MEEKNESS

Our sphere though laden with many souls, but not many 'souls' Many clans, many groups, many races, yet many hates  Discrimination, prejudices, stereotypes, greed and bigotry forms at least many hates  Our faces gloom, many faces dried, yet many hearts filled with hates Help is far, piety is missing, bliss is wanting, we've sent meekness packing  We are proving our worth by monuments of mammon and by violent contest, for we've sent meekness packing Enough has been transformed to scarcity, safety to war; for greed came knocking, so we sent meekness packing  We are considering our unique identity above our humanity, less or no empathy; for we've sent meekness packing Though we strive and fight, though we battle for supremacy  Alas! as it is written in the books of Yeshua, only a kind of humanity shall reign upon the earth The meek, yes the meek: they shall inherit the gains of this sphere Yes! they shall reign in the lands, hence, we could choose their path Bo...

Nay! Not an abode from they that slay

-As conquest grew and wars loomed  - A hand grew mightily up in the lands of sreal - A hand that slain, as of first practice, the flesh of bears and blood of beast flowed like streams. - He slain the 10,000 and the 100,000 - The flesh and foreskins of men wearied him  in the land of philistines for yea! They were many that lieth waste  - He grew mightily by the Hand of His Lord, His kingdoms stayed knitted together; indivisible - This man sought a house for His Lord of lords and His King of kings - Nay!! saith His Lord, thine hands are filled with violence and thine feet tread upon streams of blood, they flow before me as oceans - Hence, should I dwell in an abode coupled by these hands, nay!! - I have chosen thine offspring, he shall give me an abode I desire, from the hands of peace  - No one takes your place in my heart - But nay!! a house of blood!! I wouldest not take from thee  (Tales And Rhymes Of a Man GOD Loved So Much) By Bolaji Olaniba
