The Poetic Word

Bad mind: Reap what you sow

BY GLORIA O’KOYEE

Civilization has changed.

Morals and teachings became disfigured.

Once internet was within reach

Beyond the wealthy,

Crumbs of perversion crawled amongst

Common folks Innards.

 

Old-timers’ insights are brushed off,

Younger minds run life on self-wisdom.

Having self like an acting Sun that centres the universe,

Any critiques and questioning will be received like a blackhole,

Ripping off teachings apart like atoms

Destroyed in minutes, mindsets like narrow wormholes.

 

Evil eyeing is like galls forming amongst trees of life,

Inflicting mean-spirited thoughts are parasitic

Which continues to worsen in time.

To be malicious to the point it radiates like flames

As if downing fireball shots without rest in-between.

 

Core energy hardened will only reap bad

Crops that spread deeper at the sight of light.

Like potato rot, causing famines

Ignored warnings until the first bite.

 

Eye for an eye

Evil for evil.

Even if you were spared in your lifetime

For sending out evil intentions,

The ones you care will reap what you sow

Even generations after being laid to rest

In the grave.

 

Know that a bad mind will reap what they sow.
