Ayodele Henry Poet Free verse

Mediocrity of Life

Gentle and mild the righteous fall
Tricky and slimy the believer drink's gall
  Falling from the ladder grace of life

Materialism and lust the lovers love
Crimes and hypocrisy the haters want
Till you are driven from the path

Failures and needs the world attract
Entreating you into sin to subtract
Till you lose your way on the path

Bad company and lustful thoughts
Holiness and righteousness without faults
Only the rightful can ever dwell with the cross

Beware and never be shaken 
Behold and watch never to be stricken
Down by the mediocrity of life
