My Christmas insight

Man,
In his own image we were created
Given power to rule the earth
But the serpent couldn't let it be
A plan he formulated

 There was a forbidden fruit
Which man wasn't meant to eat
But the serpent lured, and man fell
The fall of man

 God looked down on us
With pity and love so surplus
He decided to bring us salvation
Through his son, we were given the gift of redemption

 It was a great decision
The most thoughtful gift that can't go into extinction
The coming of our Messiah
Prophesied by Isiah

 A beginning of the creation
Of a new generation
With victory declaration
A call for celebration

 The coming of our savior
With love peace and favor
The dawn of a new era
Our Redeemer forever

 He caused the serpent to surrender
A day we'll forever remember

 I do not speak of a fake
But a giver so true
His life he agreed to sacrifice
That we may be assured of eternal life

 Sited around the fire
The Christmas light illuminating the chilly night
Dressed in our beautiful attires
That could be Christmas

 Fifty dishes, placed on our table
With the chicken taking the center table
Appetizer, main dish and dessert
That too could be Christmas
But let's not forget that it's a season of giving
A period to be happy, and make others happy
A time to thank the Lord with carols and praises
Through worship and prayers

 Christmas isn't about eating
It's about giving
It isn't about showing off
It's about showing love
The birth of a king
Oh let us sing

 Sited around the fire
With joy in our hearts
Love in our eyes
As we look around us
Remembering that we caused the smiles, that graced another's lips
Or the laughter that visited their home
Do a good deed for someone
Let that be your Christmas

 Happy holidays
But most importantly,
Merry Christmas.

My addiction

In clusters or alone we stay Eyes Locked on our idea of the way We don't blink, we don't move Only stare Needing not to miss a heartbeat It began as an interest But now it holds great importance A part of our very existence A companion, a besfriend A necessity, a need We've made it to be I see it everywhere It has gradually taken over I agree that it helps But also it destroys And we don't seem to see Because we've chosen to be blind It really is an addiction A call for rehabilitation O generation of today Even if it's only for a day Please put down thy phones Okay , so who guessed this poem was about phone while reading it. I know you didn't. Phones could be very addictive, I'm a living testimony. For some months, my phone was bad and that was when I realised that I actually had a real life addiction. It was bad. I felt alone, like my best friend had died, everyday if I met with a friend that had a phone, I'll borrow it ...

Depression in a nutshell

The moment of peace, you say you needed a rest so you're taking it now. You don't want to think about anything but somehow you catch your self thinking. Little yous in your head are having a conversation and you're forced to take the seat, at the head of the table. 'let's listen to them, it shouldn't take a minute'. They introduce the doubts, ask you if you're happy. You think and realise you aren't happy. They remind you of everything you couldn't get, they remind you of the losses. I wish you never listened to them, I wish you had an argument with them. You'll sink in for a while then dismiss the meeting. It continues. Today's meeting is different, you're not at the head of the table. The l ittle yous in your head which you've come to realise are your demons have taken their seat and the wheel. You don't want to listen but somehow you're caged to the spot. They go over everything, tell you you're a lose...
