TRUST BUT FEAR



A well known 'temple'
Whose presence tends to amuse everyone
A 'temple' that loves
Not for relation, faith or identity.
'temple' and i;
Two in one.
Blink of an eye sees me jobless
Stung by the postponement of success
Misery brings torment
Willingness of Temple's aid, though
Attainted to confront
Confidence birth assistance
Thankful for aid, I became boss
Satan found way in 'God's Temple's
I couldn't refuse a food given
By 'God's temple'
Where Satan had overtaken
Whom I couldn't see.
Pain hitches everything.
Initial fear, perhaps
For unaccomplishments
Till 'a moment' happiness arrived:
With answers to countless questions
    -deceased activities
    -Of confrontation of my maker.

 

About this poem

I immediately began writing this poem when I was given an advice to not trust anyone fully. My father decided to advice me because one of his workmate had just been killed by his childhood friend who became jealous of him (my father's workmate) after being promoted as managing director. I then decided to relate the story to my life and with a curiosity. A curiosity because, I feel like such person needs to be taken to heaven after their death. He/she was killed due to jealousy of what God's blessings.
