Friends Or Foes

Your sufferings, all alone To your rescue, a loan Instantly, a seed you've sown Finally, you smell nice in your cologne and now, they say him we own Their hats, each takes off for you Like a gullible ewe, Thou attend to the needs of not just a few In the mad rush to help all in queue, Their jealous minds have you no cue A pit, they dug and covered with a mat In the night, they dash out like a bat and in the morning discuss where you sat In the midst of cats, an innocent rat Playing not outside its flat Certainly, the one you love you know The one who loves you? No! Sometimes the one you love, a foe In your creator, you glow and reap what you sow

The Title leads on to a wonderful poem, regarding the human race, and its failings and truth. Yes the last stanza says it all, Adeniji. Stay well...Harry

The lines are about those who pretend to be your friends for their selfish interests but you can hardly know. Only the Creator can protect one from their attacks

Excellent, profound write: We really do have much greater control over our fate, as you say. We are partners with our creator...but to use that partnership wisely is the learning task (To know one's true creator and benefactor). We can give and receive, or take and be taken, owned~ priorities are everything.
