Kisses to my enemies,
Kisses to my foes,
I'll stand tall when the cold wind blows.
I may face my nemesis,
In battles that rise,
But never will I bow or compromise.
No sugar-coated lies, no hollow shows.
I’ll never fall back, no matter how the storm grows.
The enemies talk, and receive applause
Their repertoire stays the same
Only it’s getting a little bit worse
A step shorter towards the end game
The funny thing is that all understand
We get closer to animals the humans wiped out
The UN may express the best worry they can
May organize the grand meeting about
But it’s obvious, not only to the masterminds
That the point of so called no return
Has already been passed, and no one could find
The alternate route to take on
We are undergoing involution
For quite some time, since the World War 1
And actually, it didn’t end with solution
That exactly states what was won
No rational reason explains how on earth
We’ve come to this state of affairs
Was it written in genes since the first man’s birth?
I’ve no clue, I guess nobody cares.
Life is like MATH:
With quality friends, you ADD,
Enemies of success, you SUBTRACT,
Misfortunes you DIVIDE,
Through hard work, your success MULTIPLIES.
It is a trap, yet you can escape,
By putting pleasures in BRACKETS—
Saving the sweetest for tomorrow.
Of all things, trust in God,
Who grants the power
To bypass obstacles
And solve the equation of success.

Prayer Against Enemies
Oh Father God, deliver us from enemies
May we subdue them with multitudes of victories
Oh Lord Jesus, save us who are like the Israelites
Grant us strongholds and take our fights
Oh Holy Spirit, rescue us from utter defeat
Be our radiant prize, our magnificent merit
This we ask in our Almighty God. Amen.

*Gideons Prayer Poems Against Life's Problems
revenge in a pill
gossip needs skill
conversations kill
from a deceitful shill
her hateful thrill
conversations kill
reputations to fill
lies spin in a mill
conversations kill
enemies
become friends...
one loving touch

Trust in Gods providence, and Love; he's
Choice is always best, thats what i find.)
May God grant His grace to those who wish me harm
and shield me from masked smiles.
I moved forward on my own to turn solitude
into a relentless companion.
I offer respect and affection to corrupted beings,
to sealed vaults crawling with unstable secrets.
I cross this chaotic dimension on autopilot,
guided by a force beyond calculation.
I find myself compelled to destroy anyone who stains
my dreams, my dignity, or my values.
When pain cuts through me, even Lucifer tightens,
fearing what I might be driven to do.
If my hand reaches toward you, the other stays armed,
ready for the final response should you aim for my arm.
I place no trust in humanity.
Thunderous their names,
I recite with pride and fervor—
Glory cast in gold.
Spirit in their veins,
Ready to die or deal death,
Roaring throats march on.
Conches pierce the sky,
Like lightning they strike the ears,
Enemies in awe.
Brave never perish,
Even in the hearts of foes,
Daring spirits soar.
Sounds of victory,
Trumpeting valorous hearts,
The fear of foes fades.
Brave are the bravest,
Till the axe of fate descends,
Judgment looms ahead.
Elixir of win,
Baffling the covetous mind,
A mirage in sand.
Win is in the air,
Lord, his servitor resides,
In soul’s chariot.
Narrow wedge of hope,
In raging Sea of sorrow,
Destiny smiling.
After centuries of plunder,
you named us “Third World.”
Yet it is our gold, our oil, our blood,
that built your marble cities.
Each time we rise,
you strike.
You call it “aid.”
We call it chains.
You sent your priests of policy —
the Structural Adjustment prophets.
They preached “growth,”
but planted famine.
They promised light,
but brought debt.
You crowned our tyrants,
then cursed our nations.
You said, Africans do not think,
yet you fear our awakening.
You are the enemy of progress —
dressed in democracy,
drunk on hypocrisy.
Your institutions smile with knives.
Your justice is a coin
that only flips one way.
But the world turns.
The slave learns the map.
The master forgets the gate.
Soon your comfort
will taste like dust.
Your empires will beg
for the mercy they never gave.
You fed on the sorrow of others —
now sorrow will dine on you.
For there is no peace in theft,
and no safety in the spoils of deceit.
The age of awakening begins.
And this time,
the world is watching.
Temptations are Undercover Agents. Cleverly disguised.. Each one strategically placed to test our current level of progress, and use of divine will power.
To arms! Many arms were waving, wildly flailing in the air
Incensed as if there'd been bowling pins missed for a spare
Screaming and ranting about things that didn't seem fair
Oh puhlease! As if it matters or as if anyone gives a care
If the truth were to be told, then everyone should confess
and state unequivocally that they couldn't give a fig less
Nothing written or done should be the cause of distress
when so many things in La La Land are already such a mess
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much,"
words of Oscar Wilde, is he suggesting using a gentle touch?
No, just an offering to those who require the use of a crutch
the feathered friends who flock together, flying in their clutch
The high tides of bitterness continue to crash upon the shore
With a forgiving nature and long ago, I stopped keeping score
That should've stifled the animosity, but there's always more
Their wrongs aren't worth a fight to make them right...candor
The one I would've taken a bullet for
Was the one behind the trigger
But here's the thing about betrayal
It never comes from your enemies
And what's even sadder is
I don't blame you for hurting me
I blame myself for thinking you wouldn't
I trusted you
But I know your words and promises meant nothing
Because your actions spoke the truth
I told you what hurts me the most...
And you did it perfectly

He walks with me
His stance strongly weak
Come on he yells
He reaches out to me
Today I hate him
He looks at me
A look so sweet it's bitter
Come on he says
His smile seems so familiar
Today I am lost
He laughs
His eyes so alluringly green
Come on he whispers
His head nods to go
Today I fell in love
