Janine M. Balistreri Poet Rhyme

MUTALATION

Mutilation by failing to teach good ways, like growing a family and having dignity. 
Mutilation by allowing evil ways to flourish and killing and destroying all of God's good ways. 
Mutilation can come in many ways, it can destroy you before you can even think clearly and maturely or even be born. 
The brain is said to fully develop late in the 20, so before that it may be under attack by others that want you to be destroyed before you can think or see the evil plan that you are under attack. 
Jesus was under attack before he was born, King Herod ordered all the male children in Bethlehem under two to be killed. 
So be aware and take care, pray and love, and choose life and God as you walk through this life. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
