Back Biters

They talk behind you
They say bad things about one to his master 
They know the to and fro of ones life
They talk behind you just for favor                                        
They are attention seekers                                               
 They are called back bitters
They are enemies to nation building                                  
Because they people down                                             
When they are moving forward                                         
It’s a high time we stop back biting                                      
Each other and among ourselves                        
 Because nation building requires a team and unity                         
They are called back biters
We should help those who are                                       
In higher position to achiev                                       
Their aim but not back bite them                                          
 We should know better by now                                           
That positions of those we back bites                                      
Are never given to us but to others                                
So let’s join hands to stop back bitten now                               
For a healthy Africa

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
