Things Happen

THINGS HAPPEN 

Pimples and dimples fighting for a beauty contest on my black rugged face. None of them will win. On my face - things are happening! 

Tapeworms and liverflukes struggling to squander the half cup of garri I bought on credit from mama Monica. Inside your stomach - things are happening! 

Angel Michael and Angel Lucifer are battling on who's taking my soul. That's not their problem! The question is, who am I giving my soul? Check your spiritual life - things are happening! 

Two beautiful flowers are fighting over an ugly fellow like me. They said they're in love with me. With who? That's an "emotional error"! Check your love life, maybe you're in love with a witch, I didn't say anything o, but just know that things are happening. 

Fakeship and friendship are in a relationship with you. You call both of them your friends? How long shall you dwell in the abode of delusion? "Show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are", I didn't say it, the Bible did. Check your friends - there's something wrong - things are happening! 

Things happen, yet invisible to the naked eyes. Buy you can see them - count your hairs. Are they complete? 
The things you hear, don't you think they can damage your ears? 
How about the sordid things feeding your eyes, pray you shouldn't go blind. 
The air you breath - won't they choke you? 
The things occupying your mind - aren't they capable of damaging the heart? 

Things are really happening beneath -
But we are quick to pass judgement on one's physical foibles. Leave judgement for our "Divine Jurist". He knows how to handle us! 
Check yourself, maybe you're devoid of something - maybe there's something wrong with you. 

Just know that things are happening.
