Friends Or Foes

Your sufferings, all alone
To your rescue, a loan
Instantly, a seed you've sown
Finally, you smell nice in your cologne
and now, they say him we own

Their hats, each takes off for you
Like a gullible ewe, 
Thou attend to the needs of not just a few
In the mad rush to help all in queue,
Their jealous minds have you no cue

A pit, they dug and covered with a mat
In the night, they dash out like a bat
and in the morning discuss where you sat
In the midst of cats, an innocent rat
Playing not outside its flat

Certainly, the one you love you know
The one who loves you? No!
Sometimes the one you love, a foe
In your creator, you glow
and reap what you sow

The Title leads on to a wonderful poem, regarding the human race, and its failings and truth. Yes the last stanza says it all, Adeniji. Stay well...Harry

Greetings. Much varacity in your finely, Beautiful, sculpted lines, Adenini! No matter what our fellow man does tou us, God sees it! He sees the good they do as well. Including all who ignore you. Your relationship withe God is the most significant. He is perfect. Humans are apt to let you down and are two faced. Huggs, Pangie

One can avoid so many pitfalls in life, by putting our Creator first, always. A wonderful poem. :)

The choice of our destiny lies in our hands. We must choose wisely.

Excellent, profound write: We really do have much greater control over our fate, as you say. We are partners with our creator...but to use that partnership wisely is the learning task (To know one's true creator and benefactor). We can give and receive, or take and be taken, owned~ priorities are everything.
