Inhaltsangabe

All Alone I'm falling I'm brawling to survive I'm calling but they're ignoring to help save my life. Desperately out of strife I scream I've fallen and I can't get up discouraged and stuck up. I try doing it on my own that's why I'm falling all alone I'm perspiring I'm trying to finish this race. It's tiring I feel like retiring but I keep my pace with sweat on my face I spit on the ground. On this track I go around breathing heavy I raise my tone Why oh God must I run all alone keep your lives free From the love of money and be content with what you have Because God has said "Never will I leave thee Never will I forsake thee." So we say with confidence "The Lord is my helper and I will not be afraid What can man do to me? " Hebrews 13:5-6

Chapter One

    14

    My abilities are deep and wide
    I have told so many have I lied
    How can I see past my pridE
    I need Humility on my side

    And I long to grab and thrust
    My self in her as I kiss her bust
    If only I could have just
    Used Chastity against my lusT

    I need Diligence for I slotH
    In dirty rags black and Goth
    I should wipe away this froth
    From my mouth with a cloth

    Get up and work for what I see
    Instead of lay in bed and be
    Full off envy well maybe
    Kindness can set me free

    Free from this terrible math
    Where problems plus my path
    Times my past equals wratH
    Can Patience stop this blood bath

    The thin line between greeD
    And the things I really need
    Is as fine as one single deed
    Of Generosity can I heed

    Or will I proceed to party
    Drinking and eating excessively
    Exercising only my gluttonY
    Or will Abstinence be good to me


    A FRIEND IN ME

    A true friend a good friend is a great friend indeed
    Not a friend to push you to always smoke weed
    Always getting high 'til your eyes start to bleed
    A true friend would have helped and freed
    You from any form of evil when you're in need
    So that you can stand firm and you can lead
    Other friends into good friendship indeed

    A good relationship starts with a small seed
    A single act of kindness for growth to proceed
    A good friend will always say a prayer indeed
    And on your behalf that friend will intercede
    Maybe ask God to protect you please even plead
    For your freedom from hate lust sloth even greed
    So you can run along lively like a young steed
    And fly high like an eagle but please take heed
    There are many fake friends out there indeed
    Who pretend to want to help you but just feed
    Off you like you are a flower and they're a weed
    Without them maybe you too would have believed
    In friendship but they lied and you were deceived

    The truth for you is out there it has to be retrieved
    So protect your light and life listen there is a new breed
    Of so called friends going against every creed
    Every belief and principle of friendship indeed
    I try to be the best friend and even strive to exceed
    Writing enlightening poetry for my friends to read
    A true friend a good friend is a great friend indeed
    Remember the truth about yourself is all you need
    To be a good friend a great friend a true friend indeed
    So take care all my friends who read this God speed


    ABORTION

    I am an egg
      On my way out
      Attacked by a million sperm
          Fertilized

    I am a fertilized egg
      On my way out
      Slowing growing now
          Developing

    I am a human
      On my way out
      Arms a heart and eyes
          Alive

    I am an abortion
      On my way out
