Poem Title:
Poem
He was in a life where he was always at odds cause he didn't know he's the righteousness of God. He was living the life of a straight up thug, fast women and guns, drinking and drugs and it all started when he was a child, with on discipline, cussing, fussing and running wild. living in a broken home where he was all alone, had a mom but no dad and life was very sad. Mom was doing all that she could but that still was no good, while going from man to man, hoping one would take a stand but not one would lend a hand. Still, mom would say, God is good things will be alright but he didn't believe the hype. Having to go to sleep with little or nothing to eat, he got hard to the core and wasn't taking it no more. So he learned from his peeps got his degree from the streets, he got into drugs and lived the life of a thug and started hangin, slangin, and cold gang bangin. he thought, life is good I'm in the land of honey, but it was all blood money. You see we watch the lives of the rich and famous and we want the same things so how can they blame us. So he put God last and put his money first but that turned out to be a curse, cause he was in a life where he was always at odds cause he didn't know he's the righteousness of God. Instead, all the people see, is a menace to society. The police are out trying to put him in a cage, while the other thugs are out trying to put him in the grave. He's running from house to house in need of rest, his peeps are getting tired of him starting to call him a pest, he's praying to The Lord to get him out of this mess. He's got his mom so worried, he's breaking her down, she's wondering when he'll be put in the ground. Now his girl is leaving, says she's had enough, he wont even be around to see his kids grow up. He felt so alone, like there was no one he could trust, he had lost all his so called friends, he felt like the walls were closing in. He thought, I'm all I got left, forget them all I'll do it myself. He went to do a deal in a place that was hot, he tripped and let his guard down and ended up getting shot. As he laid on the ground he started to pray, as he felt his life slowly slipping away. Then he fell into a dark place, where he knew he didn't belong, he couldn't see anything all he could hear was moans and groans. Lord please get me out of this place I just want to go home. Lord I know I done a lot of bad things, I thought it was the only way to live, now I know I was wrong and I am asking you to forgive. But now it's over I've played my last inning, then he heard, no my son this is the beginning. He came out of that dark place and into the light with his eyes wide open and feeling out of sight because The Lord Jesus had come into his life. Now there's a voice in his heart and he can clearly hear it, only now he know that it's the Holy Spirit. Things have changed since The Lord has brought him through, he's no longer in the dark, his life has become brand new. And no longer in that life where he was always at odds cause now he know, He's The Righteousness of God... WOW.
