Positive Poetry

Caswell Smart

15

I choose to be free while others choose to be

in captivity to sin and self,

I choose to be joyful in a world of stress and chaos.

I choose to be happy in a world that continues to be

very melancholy, with the strains of the cares of this

life weighing us down.

We do not only make choices but our choices also

make us,

the choices we make do not only affect us but it also affects the the entire environment where we interact.

Some choose happiness and they are happy.

Others choose to be criminals and they are criminals.

Some choose to be sad and they are sad.

We are who we are because of the choices that we make so make wise choices,

Choose positive so you can be positive.

Choices

Lust is a deep overwhelming passion

that is invoked by a person for another

person or thing.

It's a strong desire to

possess, acquire, experience and to own.

Lust is driven mainly by emotions that if

not controlled is like a man with fire in

one hand and gas in the other with heavy

winds blowing from all directions.

Lust is not temptation but it is the seed

of temptation bearing fruits in our lives.

Lust is like a slave driver taking us into

captivity who desires to inflict us with cords of misery.

Lust first appears like it is our friend

and not our enemy and what appeared

to be fun at first end in shame and agony.

Temptation is not sin, it is an invitation to sin,

once accepted it becomes sin, it is a mind thing.

As the suggestions are made

to the mind, one must use the will of the

mind to reject or accept it.

Both are common to man!!!!!!!!!
