Each drop
takes toil
Moment of
thoughtsBrings the reminder of danger
Until the tongue laps it all.
A day in time
Gives the strength to refuse
The will to fight
And the zeal to stay strong
Until the eyes behold the glass.
A move to walk away
But not far enough
As the head makes a turn
Just to take a look
When the hands were extended.
A little more
Makes the warnings irrelevant
The grip got a firm hold
Even when the protest began
The taste was lodged in the head
A restless craving
Became a burning heat
Consuming life’s existence
Despite knowing the damage.
There are reasons that make us wonder many times why people just cannot leave destructive vices. The reason why till death comes knocking, they won’t yield to warnings. On their own, they cannot succeed in fighting against whatever demons that has possessed their tongue. They need family, friends and even strangers (you and I)to help them. So, never mock their situation or judge them but rather give a word of encouragement, let them know they are strong enough to change their cravings and above all, God is much more capable of changing what needs to be changed to beautify their lives. My prayers lie with those struggling to overcome drug abuse, drunkenness and other vices. Be kind to keep them in yours too. Cheers!!
