There is a putrefying river running rapid through homes
It penetrates delicate minds and adults living alone.
It runs deep into the recesses of people’s psyche.
Drinking from its deceptive cistern—heaps of havoc is likely.
If flows from morning till evening, perhaps non-stop.
It could seduce a woman: persuading her to shop
There is no warning for its innocuous viewers.
There are no cautions of its stinking sewers.
It is addicting as those worshipping dumb idols. But,
There is a fountain that runs clean which never idles.
This river flows from Emmanuel’s divine veins.
Drinking from it avoids a life empty and vain.
Be raptured by His love that comes from His Throne above.
And His Spirit will dwell in your heart like a gentle dove.

I was self-deceived by little fallacious Lies.
When truth was revealed: I told lies goodbye.
I believed that a John was happy with hookers,
But godly character attracts more holy lookers.
I thought bruit boldness conquers weaknesses.
But only a wise man can overcome wickedness.
I rebelled at instructions on Bible study habits.
And like Cain, my disobedience made me livid.
I thought all music were amoral based on choices.
But most music is worldly, sung by ungodly voices.
I always thought I could fulfill my dreams by myself.
But I learned God gives me strength to acquire wealth.
Lies are horses: the more you feed it the stronger it gets
Seems like the more you ride it: the better you control it.
We are fooled by lying as though it offers good success.
People like Eve lied to betray their Creator’s Largess.
There are severe consequences for every liar’s sin.
Hell awaits liars, and threatens their social trend.
We ought to control the tongue like a horse’s bit,
To avoid the wide road to hell’s dark-fiery-pit.
Then self-deception and lies will be banned.
And truth will reign throughout the land.
