LOST AGAIN


LOST AGAIN
Love is unfair;
Life is unfair.
Why must I always
Bury my head
In shame;
In pain,
Knowing that
I lost again?

When I fall in love
I give it my all.
With high hopes;
Body and soul.
I don’t care;
Richer or poorer.
You love me,
I love you more.

Yet most at times,
I fall in wrong hands.
The one I trust
Calls me a liar.
Thinking I’m cheap;
Calls me a cheat.
I can’t believe,
I lost again.

We stayed together
Under same roof.
Even though
You had no proof.
No engagement,
No commitment
No, not yet;
Not for marriage.

I pretend to be happy
Even though I suffer.
Yet you left me
To be with another
Who is not even
Compared to me, better.
I can’t tell how
I lost again.

I’ve learned my lessons;
I’ll cry no more.
For nothing is fair
In love nor war.
The smiles today,
Tomorrow is no more.
Sweet fruits
Turn bitter and sour.

Life is unfair
Love is unfair.
Why must I always
Bury my head
Deep in shame
Filled with pain
Regretting;
I lost again.

UNITED BY LOVE

UNITED BY LOVE I have learned; I have learnt. Sleepless nights I have spent. Day and night,  time by went. Life’s greatest lesson,  now I have learnt. Life indeed  is a lesson. Varies in kind  to every person. Every lesson  carries a lesson. Some we worsen,  some we lessen.     The world is one;  why differentiate? I’m black and proud;  why depreciate? My style is better;  just imitate. Your style is better;  just appreciate. Different colors;  different religions. Black or white  or maybe Caucasian. Same RED blood;  got the meaning? Red is for LOVE;  LOVE is the REASON.  if you enjoyed this piece, do well to share to as many people as possible on the various social media. you can forward your comments, questions and suggestions to whatsapp number 0275653650.  GOLDEN WORLD INNOVATION ASSOCIATES ...turning ...

MY SPIRITUAL PATH(part1)

Image
This past 6 years has not been easy at all for me. It's been full of dabbling, wandering and testing different spiritual powers and entities. My post today will make YOU realize that though the Bible writes that we should "Test all Spirits" , too much of testing spirits is really dangerous. “Curiosity Kills" . Enjoy your read I was born and raised in a Jehovah Witness family where moral standards are held high. My late grandma believed so much in the principles of the Bible that, we hardly dishonor 'the Ten Commandments ". We strongly disbelieve the existence of ancestors and have established that it is satanic demons and spirits that pick up the forms of dead relatives or friends to scare or deceive us. Though this dogma about spirits and ancestors was highly esteemed in my family, I am that curious type still trying to find out whether they (spirits) truly existed or are just fairy tales as we are made to believe. This made me t...
