In Small Doses Living a life is like taking poison –you die a little each day. I am screwed Know not when? Know not how? –Marriage happened. Gone Astray Religion is a well-traversed road –I am lost! Favored There’s no substitute for hard work and perseverance –except luck. Fool of Wisdom It requires wisdom to comprehend –a fool. Recipe for Success The ingredients for a successful life –Passion, Perfection, Patience. Salvation Sailing upstream against the wind –I have a strayed soul to summon. Legally moral When it becomes legal, it becomes moral –then, it's normal. Common Factor We are common people; the tail-enders –we hide between the legs in adversity. Good for nothing A good deed with ulterior motive is worse than a bad deed –with good intent. Back Street blues Don’t be scared of the back alleys –they might get you home quicker. Idolatry I picked a stray stone and carved a graven image of my God –I then worshiped. Heavenly Bliss Nothing happens by just wishing for the heaven –You have to first die for it. Afterlife There's only one sure way to immortality –die young. False Hope Gives you what was never yours to begin with –Chasing illusions. Tarry no longer A wet knot is hard to untie. Vet the person you marry –before you tie the knot. Postscript Poison, Potion, Prayer –either make you ill, immune or immortal. ~04/28/22 ~Contest: A Brian Strand Premiere

“Good for nothing A good deed with ulterior motive is worse than a bad deed –with good intent” and “Tarry no longer” are my absolute favorites in this clever write Abdul. I enjoyed all of them. Blessings xxoo
