Do Not Follow Me
DO NOT FOLLOW ME
Me, myself and I
Get the likes you try
Addicted to self and my
Inflate yourself a lie.
Do not follow me
I don’t pretend to be
Nothing, a nobody
Human not a diety.
Social media making scars
You are not who you say you are
Trapped inside it, deep and far
Its your prison without the bars.
Connect with friends and family
But you’re vending and selling me
Posting obscenity
Pedantic and worldly.
I don’t use a special tool
You’re feeding on pop cultures pull
That school of thought is very cruel
Drink from it and play the fool.
Impurity, profanity, popularity, celebrity
Narcissistic, pessimistic, materialistic, atrocity.
Egotistic, antagonistic, unethical, skeptical
Idolatrous, preposterous, scandalous, unbiblical.
Do not follow me, you will see
He must become greater, trust me
I must become less, are the words the
Baptist John said most fervently.
Facebook and Instagram trying to reform
Your way of thinking and to deform
Your character and integrity as they inform
You that sexual immorality is the norm, do not conform.
It’s infecting your brain, strangles like a collar
Research for yourself, use Google scholar
Morally decaying, daily your mind
Trying to fill the void in your soul online.
Moral fabric slowly disappears
Continued neglect of wisdom all the years
It’s a fact, that is true, as I shout
Rest assured your sin will find you out.
I know what your say’n
Brian? Who do you think you are?
You’re some kind of bible banger now?
No, just trying to heal my scars.
I’m on the Internet and media as well
Trying to use it for good as I tell
And relate my life with its ups and downs
To point others to fresh water and where its found.
I’ve have always loved rap and poetry
Using my rhymes to spread the Gospel openly
Title of this poem is DO NOT FOLLOW ME
Be a fisher of men, Jesus said, “Come and follow me.”
You wont read this though
You’ll need Godly sorrow
Take it to heart, do not fight
HIS burden is easy, HIS yoke is light.
He said, “Take up your cross and follow me.”
That’s the cost of discipleship. See?
Deny yourself and removing the “me”.
Leads to life and with HIM eternally.
I am not perfect and I have sin
The difference is I have been for-giv-en.
Received the Spirit at my bap-t-is-m
Forgiveness is the Good news, you list-en-‘n.
Iron sharpens iron and
“I know the plans I have for you.”
These are some of the scriptures that help me
I hope they also strengthen you
