Free Game, By: Nathaniel Terrell

December 26, 2024 by Nathaniel Terrell

Free Game, By: Nathaniel Terrell

The distraction was the prosecution of forty five
The failed play, was to secure an election

Refusal to submit to being led or being covered
Consequently means forfeiting protection

Fragile feelings get hurt by facts
A fool despises correction

If tithes only requires ten percent
Why do congregations solicit multiple collections?

If you don’t sow, it’s impossible to reap
Reality is often harsh

Greatness awaits those that execute effectively
And also with confidence when facing great odds

The flood waters have receded
All praise to the Most high for bringing me through

Age has robbed me of my youthful vigor
However my senses are keen,
my spiritual and mental remain acute

A viral moment is a powerful speck in time
But beloved, what comes next?

Many want to be feared because their hearts hold fear
I would rather share a mutual respect
