Don’t Envy Her, She Envies You!

By -

 


Every day they pass each other on the trail, also my exercise trail for health, for balance

Each of them with some regrets that I could feel

One to worship & sad that all her expectations have not been met and what she thinks the other has, she lacks

The other to catch some sleep & sad that what the other truly has, she does not

I see them both every morning & I laugh & I wish I could speak, but

 

She walks out at the crack of dawn

At the hint of twilight

Clutching her purse

At times he strides out with her

At other times, she appears as a solitary figure walking down the trail

When you get close she smells of the best perfumes ever

When you meet her up

She lifts her head to give an appearance of pride

But she is destitute

Oh, woman do not envy her, she envies you

She looks up at you and wishes she were you

 

 

Who says she does not want to sleep over

Who says she abhors cuddling in the early morning hours

Who says she does not want to lose that human hair that has been hanging on her for ages

Though you think she is free, she lives in bondage, she roams

She wishes she has a home to call her own

She wants to be free like you

She longs for all the aborts

Mornings, as she leaves the warm embrace of the men

She sheds a tear and hopes that someday she will have her own man

She weeps when she’s at it not for joy but for sorrow

And wishes to be like you

She’s the slave and you are the free woman

Oh dear woman do not take for granted what you have got

Do not take for granted that he loved you enough to ask you to be his wife

Rejoice and enjoy your home

 

 Do you think she likes being a whore?

Coated all year round with fine paintings, powdered

She wants to get off all of that

She sometimes wants to bathe. Wash off

She wishes to sleep all day carefree, knowing that her man will return to her

No need to look for a different embrace but to be embraced by the one she loves and who loves her dearly

She weeps even when she sleeps

Who is to blame?

Everyone but She.

 

Oh dear woman, do not jeopardize your home

Do not envy her, she envies you

She looks up at you and wishes she were you

Rejoice and enjoy your home

 

End.

Rediscovering the Power of Circles for Growth, Friendship and Purpose

 Have you experienced the power of people working together? “Where two or three are gathered in my name ...”—do you remember that promise? It promises that the greatest power in the universe will be available to them. That is an example of the kind of power that comes when people work together. What troubles and burdens one person is usually not much for 2 people to handle and could even be a joyful challenge to 3 or more people when they share the burden. One of life’s greatest joys is friendship. If you find people who share your values and vision and are willing to work with you, then you are blessed beyond measure. There is enormous power and accomplishment when 2 or more people work together toward a goal with a sense of dedication and commitment. If their purpose is pure, that is, it benefits them and other people and does not harm the world, then you can be sure that unimaginable success is assured. With such unity, nothing is impossible! Working together is pure joy as the ...

Emotions: The Human Superpower We Often Overlook

By -

Emotions - Our Human Super Power! "An emotional response is wrong." "Don't be emotional." Often, when we need to make decisions we say these to ourselves or hear other people say them or some other versions of them.  Emotions are frequently vilified, dismissed as irrational, and relegated to the background in favour of logic and reason. These phrases are thrown around so often that many have come to believe emotions are a flaw—something to suppress, control, or ignore. But have you ever stopped to ask: What is wrong with emotions and emotional responses? Emotions are one of the most defining aspects of being human. Yet, they have been treated as weaknesses, and pushed to the background. People are told to rely only on reason, as if emotions have no value in decision-making. But here’s the truth: both reason and emotions are processed in the brain. Our memories are tied to emotions, stored in every part of our being. So the typical ‘heart refers to emotions’ a...

Lovers of Pleasure or Lovers of God? A Sobering Self-Check

By -

'...lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God....' Verse 4 (1 Timothy 3:1–5) I grew up hearing this scripture regularly read at home, in Christian meetings, and in the ministry. The message was 'God's Kingdom is near’, and this scripture was cited as evidence that we are living in the last days. I came to understand that "lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" were people who had no place in God’s Kingdom—gluttons destined to perish with this old system. Naturally, I have always thought, "That’s not me. That’s the unbelievers. Bad, despicable people. I remember how they are depicted in the book ‘You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth.’  ‘Nde Aworome!’ I could never be counted among them." Tufiakwa! But this morning, as the scripture came to mind again, I reflected on the angels in Noah’s day. They left their proper place to pursue selfish pleasure. Na them! This is a true example of what it means to love pleasure more than God. Plea...
