Generational Sin

Conception :  bloodline memory, generational sin, twisted inheritance :  whispers ,”you can’t choose, you won’t win,”. 
Facing internal overflow, remains too high a goal  , what is sown will surely grow.
Generations of people failing connect to correct what has happened; unfortunately will now become what is. 
 Self hate  solidifies the ick, that eats the body from within. That elephant in the room, slowly begins to suffocates Gods knit together creation .
A babe born, a family riddled with chains unbroken: symptoms and signs slow and hidden, 
such as a whiny child with unkept hair, with a restlessness , with desperate cries for attention. 
This is not a child’s  load to bare . 

Disease lurks and feeds off of parental avoidance of their own adolescent  despair. 
DNA limitations and generational sin, oozes under layers of tissue, bone and skin. Producing generations of cancer, diabetes, depression al etched deep within. 

Red flag warning: This is how it is , this  how it’s been. 
Genetically  Hardwired to deceive , as the previous generations suffered immoral consequences, justifications and disease: all caused by generations of sin. 


Bolstering belief that this family bloodline was created from sin.
 Children are born and are meant to be essential,
Instead the light in their  soul is dimmed
 they have no idea that they hold unlimited God given potential.

Without someone to say, enough is enough, 
This has to stop , 
the silent killer will continue with this notion  
That No one in this family has any right to healthy promotion 
 Generational sin has been well camouflaged 
Throughout the years of  established wrongs and settled acceptance .
A routine life that consists of mediocre song and dance.  
Don’t be fooled by this , you don’t have to remain in that dark grip, 
you don’t have to accept what your parents and grandparents thought and  did. Turn around and face  your inner demons ,
Imposed limitations and generational sins

And say, “ I’m done, no more living this way, I’m gonna win, and overcome what my past generations have settled with, silently accepted sin. “
