It's My Birthday

Are people there yet?

Wait, what!

What you mean are people there yet?

Who are you coming here to see?

Me or the people who aint here yet?

That's what annoys me about people these days

Especially on birthdays

It's a celebration of a special day for your friend

Who cares if anyone else is here!

A real friend will visit or wish happy birthday before the night end

It's about making that special individual happy

Not about clubbing or meeting the invited people you fancy  

Nah that is messed up 

People you gotta fix up                                                                                          

You know who you all are

The true friends always shine as the brightest star

In the end only one person came

With no alternative aim

A model of true friendship

Calming the storms of life’s hardship

All I ask for is one day in the year

Don’t blow your chance to show that you care

Make that special someone feel like they won the lottery

Having a friend who loves them unconditionally

Temptations

I may look calm, collective and in control externally

But within all hell is breaking loose internally

Wherever I turn a collage of eye balls look my way

Analysing my every step and waiting to judge away

Growing up is like a constant roller coaster

The highs of friendships to the lows of starting over

Innocence of childhood is bliss

For once their eyes are opened their world suddenly becomes a myth

As Adam and Eve had an enlightenment when they ate the fruit of good and evil

We too share a similar fate that is real

Exposure to sin clouds our minds and thoughts

Causing compromisation

From even the ones who ought to be Christ's affirmation

Of the word of the Lord that is out of our scope of interpretation

Therefore only divine intervention from the Holy Spirit propels us into a glimpse of His realm of understanding

We as children of God should watch our backs

For the devil like a hungry lioness stalking her prey never slacks

He comes to steal, kill and destroy

For he does not concern himself with the lost but stealthy launches assaults on the Lord’s convoy

But do not fear

For the Lord preserves and shelters us from the wicked snare

Watch over your brothers and sisters lost in the ether

For you are their keeper

That wolf in sheep’s clothing

That devil in angelic dressing

Never revealing its true nature

Is temptations’ true character

Not all that shines is gold

And not all that sparkles fills that empty void in your soul

Be weary

For once temptation has lured you into its clutches

It deserts leaving behind a broken, empty world full of regrets and wishes

Children do not forget your siblings

Guide them out of the dark into the lights dwellings

And with the Lord as our strength

Freedom will be our reward in the end

AMEN
