The Old Man

-

What is this fight that you go through?
You struggle strongly with what to do
You ponder possible plans and pray
Just what's the best I can today?

The wind of defiance blows your heart
The people say stop but you know you cannot
They see a monster and are terrified
They wish instead that you died

You open your mouth to speak your case
They stare at you with hardened face
The time had come for him to end
You've taken away one of their friends

You're lost for words just for a moment
Then with resolve, the sword was spent
Blood on your hands - still warm and moist
You had to make the ultimate choice

The man lay dead and just ahead
You feel relief despite their dread
Yet still, the people are insane
They'll raise him back on up again

And then the fight will start anew
The old man back to get at you
So dying daily is the quest
For God must only have your best

Each time he comes you must resist
Your life and strength for sure increased
No matter the means or cards he plays
The grace of God provides the ways

Till Christ shines in you perfectly
And the old man dies permanently
The battle remains to build your strength
You must endure the entire length

Activate Diligence

Slow but not steady, go but not ready I'm just sitting on earth doing nothing already Every day every hour I'm just lazing around And I'm all about sleep because I'm feeling all down Spending most of my day as I listen to sounds There are  things to be done There are places to be gone I know I must do it but I haven't begun Must muster the will to fire the gun But I would rather run Though my body feels like it weighs a tonne Yes my flesh is weak at every turn So I stare at the ceiling or look out the view Or I start daydreaming about a thing or two But I never get started on items of taste The doing of the nothing is all such a waste This cannot continue; this useless state No time to be idle must demonstrate Let the will of action be transferred to me And with wonderful wisdom let me start to be It is time, yes it's time for productivity Move on out of this spirit of despondency Set the switch of my power on priority Set the mind o...
