This is our world,
It has a grin on its face caused by its greed

This is our world,
We have religion to be miles wide and only an inch deep.

This is our world,
Fetish groves have changed to church grounds and old churches are turned into casinos.

This is our world,
There are so many light skin people who once were dark.

This is our world,
Clothes are very expensive and yet they cover only little.

This is our world,
Truth is called hateful speech and love is a lie.

This is our world,
Love is found more on lips than in hearts and deeds.

This is our world,
Relationships begin very quickly and break ups are quicker.

This is our world,
Brightened by the lights of technology but as the dark ages, very lightless.

This is our world,
Where there are many rules and many vices as well.

This is our world,
So much wealth is created but only few are allowed to benefit from it.

This is our world,
Every citizen pursues more rights and frowns at responsibility and patriotism.

This is our world,
We relate more to the internet than to family and Facebook friends are closer than spouses.

Yes! This is our world,
Anyone can get married to anyone or anything in the name of freedom and rights.

You were smart till you tried to outsmart me.
Your brilliance was tainted by your lack of morality.
I wish I could be more harsh but I am too gentle to be.
Hope you understand.
And don't get ******.
I am framed to manage attitudes like yours.
But you need to know your limits
You bought only a field.
You need not cultivate two.
Know your limits and stay within.
I may endure your insanity
But your 'brilliance' I can't take

And l wish you could have a feel of the sore in my eyes
The one left behind by no sleep
And welcomed by early day
Only if you know
You'd lay me a bed
Sing me a lullaby
And caress me into a journey
Sleepful journey that sweetens my eyes
And gives my body rest
sleep

She glories in how projected her butts are but forgets how minute her brain works.
The length of her fingers and nails gives her confidence but she doesn't see how short her life is.
She gallops from door to door wherever wealthy men dwell but never bothered to get the the key to the door leading to the life after here.
She pities the churchy lady for not catching fun, but deep down her, she has no joy herself.
The fragrance of her perfume still could not conceal the odour her character produces.
She is wise at getting all she can now but never thinks of securing the future after life here.
Her elegant physique and graceful skin is her choice asset.
Walking with straight neck and wobbling **** to lure her preys, she forgets the day she would need a walking stick.
She indeed is myopic in her thoughts.
She flouts the morals of her society just to please herself.
She constructs a world she can't sustain.
Like a missionary sepulchre, her outward beauty glows but within her are the wiles the wisest of men can't resist.
She trades her  beauty for pennies.
She's a *******!
SORRY FOR SOME OF THE WORDS USED HEREIN

It's a vow you made
Never to trade your love
Faithful like a Japanese soldier
You kept the orders
The vows gave your life
Protected it as your life
You're stronger than your words
So you kept them all

I smashed it like a glass
You bled from the pieces
Viewed your fragmented image therein
Your grips were firm on it
And my loyalty was absent


My unfaithfulness was the one
That nursed griefs in your heart
But again, your worth shined,
You treasured your vow
My trade was to betray
So I did again

No bait could lure your taste
No hurt made you hate
No failures made you fail
No date was late
So you endured and tarried


Your wounds still hurt
Your tears still run
Yet your commitment so strong
Never did I return
But somewhere out there
You still are waiting
I know, you'd be soothed
You are my betrayed hero
One-way LOVE

The shiny stars gave way to a gloomy dark night
A night as deadly as the lion's den
No light and no guide
Nobody had the compass
There we stood, dwelled and all misled

Hope was in extinction
Struggles and fights normal
Vice was a norm
Venom of the serpent was at work
We all were at our worst
Though we struggled our best

There was nothing to hold on
The most enduring men fainted
And life was in danger
The venom struck my liver
I drew closer to the grave

A grave deeper than normal
I could see beyond what they saw
Of course I was closer than they were
All were born to follow my trail
I wasn't the first nor last
I was just the next victim

Thank God for grace
The light came down my heart
And lifted me from near the grave
It shone in the night of my life
That light was hope

It gave hope to the misled
It was triumphant over death
This light is life for the lost
Cherished by the saved
Salvation is a gift
You must long for it
i love this. this was the poem i wrote within the shortest time

The world is not bad because bad people tell too much lie.
It is neither bad because they are too loud and imposing their views on people.

It is the way it is because the good people shy away from speaking the truth, doing their good duties and being bold to be different.

The world is the way it is because Christians are scared people would not like them if they look obedient to the ways of God.

Oh yeah, Christians are ruining the world because peace with men is looking more important to them than peace with God.

They know much about righteousness but would neither say nor do nothing about what they know.
They are full of knowledge and they lack actions which match their knowledge base.

The supposed lights of the dark world are scared to shine because they feel people would complain about how bright they shine.

The world is lacking seasoning because the salt of the world is gradually letting go of its saltiness.

It's a sad situation and you are a part of the cause.
Can you start your part while we wait for others to join the CHANGE?
