HORNET FEEDS OFF THE SPIDERS WEB.....

TRAPPED AS PREY

The door of immorality is very deep,

we think it's all games and fun,

but we fall into the harlots heap,

forever held at the barrel of a gun.

Our purity is taken,

Our innocence forsaken,

Lives are forever defiled,

any love is totally denied.

Thrown into the trash as second hand goods,

played and exchanged regardless of moods,

we have no say as we're passed to the next,

it's pointless trying to do our best.

Families are sucked into the hornets nest,

who lays her eggs in the spiders webs,

catching the innocent and making them prey,

to fill their pockets for another day.

DOORS IN AND DOORS OUT...

KNOW WHAT'S ENTERING IN

What most of don't realize or don't know is when doors are opened for us it is for the intention of getting into our lives and get to our families ..it takes only one in a family to enter through the door and outsiders can get to any in the family....

very scary....as we enter so they enter.... it becomes a two way street and that is why so many things happen which we haven't planned and we have no idea where it came from...it came through the open door......we become horrified at what's happening in our lives and with our families and we keep searching where we went wrong.....we didn't go wrong...it's not from us...we just ignorantly entered the wrong doors without realizing what it actually meant. Be careful what doors you enter into and explain it to the children...

Over the next few days we will enter some doors and see what enters in....door of deceit: When we accept favours, bribes, etc, to get ahead in life, to take the easy way through and out of trouble, deceit enters into our lives and home and can do whatever it chooses with our jobs, family, extended family and even friends. BECAUSE WE OPENED THAT DOOR and then we shout: "unfairness, injustices, this can't be happening to me...BUT IT IS BECAUSE YOU ENTERED THAT DOOR AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY SIDE EFFECTS OF OPENING UP TO DECEIT....AND IT GETS MUCH, MUCH WORSE AS TIME GOES BY...

THERE ARE MANY, MANY SIDE DOORS LEADING FROM THIS ONE DOOR...

Tomorrow...door of immorality....

ALL IS FAIR GAME

TWO WAY STREET

Are we aware that when a door unlocks,

and we enter in to see what it stocks,

that door also opens into our lives,

taking us into some mighty deep dives.

It's a two way street that bring us deceit,

as strange things occur that cause us defeat,

many things happen which we never planned,

as others take control and our lives become damned.

Do not agree to the easy way out,

pay your dues as you go about life,

work your way forward with honest labour,

bringing its joy for you to savour.

Don't let deceit enter through your door,

it will bash and beat you to the floor,

when we enter doors we can't shout unfair,

we played along and took the dare.

WILLING SACRIFICES

WEIGHING THE PRICE

As we go through life, we always find out too late what the cost was. When desire is burning  strong and offers are laid on the table, check the cost -not financially - but morally....it can cost you your wife or husband or children's purity and futures.....check the cost. We are extremely eager to jump in feet first and then find out too late that the sacrifice demanded from us far outweighs the benefits and achievements we have acquired, but....it is too late to pull out. It is better to take the slow, long road and develop our talents, so that the excellence of our works paves the way. We cannot be denied our place simply due to the quality of what we have to offer and therefore we can lay down the demands. When others open the doors for us, as a shortcut to success, be very, very wary, there is always a price to pay - always strings attached and this is how we become entangled in the webs of life. We 'owe a favour' for the opened door and become enslaved. Always open your own doors through knowledge, proper foundations and building a career on hard work and truth, this way we are in charge of our own doors - we get to open and close them as we wish without any debts to anyone. There are many ways to achieve what we want in life, many ways past obstacles - DON'T GET TRAPPED AND FALL INTO OTHERS HANDS. WHEN WE REALLY BECOME GOOD AT WHAT WE DO, DOORS WILL OPEN WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM OTHERS....CHOOSE THIS PATH....

Tomorrow....traps of accepting wrong help....

THE COST OF DESIRES

DESIRES AND THE PRICE TO PAY

When desire is burning hot and strong,

we often land on paths that are wrong,

we want to get to the top very fast,

then accept dodgy offers that cannot last.

Beware of doors that are opened by others,

there is always a cost that lays under the covers,

only too late we are told what to pay,

then we're trapped within a darkened sway.

We have to obey what we are told to do,

or they shut the doors on the paths we pursue,

there are no shortcuts to true success,

through knowledge and skills we do progress.

Don't become entangled in the webs of life,

it always ends up in bitterness and strife,

take the long road and build solid foundations,

through hard work and truth we find inspirations.

FOLLOWING OUR OWN PATHS

SUCCESSFUL MISSIONS

Each person is born with a purpose in life, we've all been born with gifts and talents, the mystery of success is finding our gifts and developing them to their full potential. When we take our natural talents, learning comes easy and therefore it is fun and exciting and because we enjoy what we are doing, we become successful, bringing great joy and satisfaction. This is the recipe to a happy, contented life - to succeed in what we do, regardless of how insignificant it may seem to others in our life, it is enormously important to us, BECAUSE WE SUCCEEDED. WE DID IT. WE COMPLETED THE TASK. We don't measure ourselves to others abilities, because we are not them, we are us......so we measure ourselves to our own capabilities in our own time with our own dreams. This is where we find our success. One of life's greatest successes is to be happy in what we do because this joy breeds kindness, gentleness, generosity and makes us become loving, delightful people taking our joy into the world and making it a better place. What greater success could any person achieve...

INBORN TALENTS CRY OUT

INNER CALLING

Inner talents cry out to be heard,

implanted gifts of our very own,

natural abilities that come with ease,

an inborn purpose that needs release.

When forced through tradition to follow other paths,

life turns to misery without any laughs,

we do what we have to, through a sense of duty,

never enjoying the fruits of our natural ability.

Whenever we're forced we can't bring our best,

it lays dormant as we struggle with the rest,

when we do the things we are born to do,

we find joy on all the paths we pursue.

With delight we manage all our tasks,

we don't have to hide behind deceitful masks,

it brings us great pleasure as we succeed,

and success brings the happiness we so desperately need.

TRADITIONS WITHOUT VALUES

HARDENED HEARTS

Without purity man becomes defiled leading to frustration, anger violence and rebellion. A man without morals is a sick man, we lose our humaneness as the defilement and degradation shames us, hurts us, soils our minds and hearts and we are forced to harden ourselves to survive. Pain causes devastation and we all too often shut down our feelings and stop caring for ourselves, others and creation as a whole, because it is far easier then repairing the damage, that which can be repaired. Once our innocence is taken, our purity is defiled, our trust is broken, it takes a lot of understanding to reshape our lives in such a manner as to still be humane and decent. Mostly we feel the world 'owe's' us, because it defiled us, but the world's a dead thing and will give nothing in return, it is not even aware of you and you get what is one the path that you travel...tough cookie....the way it is.... It is up to us to find the reasons and not to allow it to destroy our lives, to learn to still be decent in spite of the horrors and disappointments we encounter and to use it for upliftment and not destruction..

CRUSHED SPIRITS

OPRESSION BACKFIRES

Oppression is by no means a force of control,

it belittles and degrades another mans soul,

when pushed too far, it will surely explode,

as the nation comes forward to drop its load.

Man's spirit is crushed as he's pushed to the ground,

he may stay down where lethargy and spite is found,

lack of interest shows in all his labour,

as there is no joy that he can savour.

Oppression doesn't care what it does to a nation,

turning it into a cesspool of bitter degradation,

helpless and tormented they go through each day,

without any desire to improve on their way.

The mindset becomes one of anger and revenge,

wanting to even the score becomes immense,

they break and destroy wherever they go,

as an entire nation falls to a darkened flow.

DESTRUCTIVE POWERS

OPPRESSION AS TRADITION

Oppression is by no means a force of control, it is insulting and degrading to be treated as a quivering fool by those who are stronger and have the power. Oppression causes lethargy, as no one wants to do anything and is extremely detrimental to a countries economy. When people are continually belittled and pushed down, they either stay down or they rebel, causing havoc either way. When they stay down they react with total lack of interest and spite, always doing the opposite of what they should and breaking down, just like they're broken down, so they too break down, or if they rise and rebel they destroy everything in their path. The oppression didn't care what it was doing to them, so they don't care what they do to others, turning a nation into a bitter cesspool of defilement and degradation. This is what break a nation and a people. Those holding this kind of power, lose touch with the reality of their nation, as they live in the lap of luxury and all is well with them.....but.....all is not well with the people that are being oppressed. To pick up a nation from degradation is a mammoth task as the pain, disgust, anger, rage and all the defilement and injustices have to first be removed, to build them up and lift them out of their mindset, because all they want is revenge and to equal the score.... leading to further degradation because they now become the oppressor and the cycle continues.......
