Don't be the enemies fool,
Or let him abuse you.
You don't need to,
Directly retaliate his way,
But God's with praise,
Worship, and prayer.
This strengthens God's,
Protective layer on you,
To do what you have to
Do and your enemy will
Then be your footstool!
They will come to you for
Help but won't understand,
But you will! Serving God
Gives a believer a thrill
And wheels to ride on
The boulevard of blessings.
Don't let the enemy lessen
You. You live right, do right,
And to them be a blessing.
The power will lessen and
You'll be empowered by
God's power and Your
Enemy will be your footstool!

The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your
footstool. Psalm 110:1
Do you have the power to let power come and not overcome or succumb.
Bloody rhymes
Hurtful times
Learn the power we need to find
Is Deep inside
Don’t get caught in your own mind
It’s the cause of most of your pain
Seek the strength inside
Wash the weak away
Turn bloody rhymes to bloodless ones
Replace hurtful time with joyous ones
Learn the power we need to find,
Is deep within, deep inside.
Preoccupied with power as a whole
instead of the power within yourself
The virtue to change your own world
to define who you are
For what strength does a whole give,
if one is shattered inside?
What weight does one add,
to rely on the measure of another?
Must you resolve your weakness,
without understanding it's nature?
For what does delusions add,
to the substance of a man?
That a man can not devour,
the insanity of the world
