EDIFYING

FEAR NOT


We live in a world;
A world lives in us.
The world births challenges;
Challenges birth the world.
Like a ram led to its slaughter,
Like a mother nursing her
daughter,
Life wills for us to decide our
fate;
Feed the fear or feed the faith.

The ants make wealth in the
summer,
How much we who are a lot firmer?
The badgers build their tents on a
rock,
How much we who are more cut out
for work?
The locusts march uniformly in
ranks,
How much we with leadership in our
tanks?
The spiders set up their base in
palaces,
How much we with our sight on the
galaxies?
These are not words uttered in
ignorance,
Neither are they inklings with no
relevance.
Because you serve the Jehovah El
Shaddai,
Surely, the obstinate powers of
Hell shall die.
Be you in the East, West, South or
North,
Wherever you are, whatever you do,
Just grow in the faith and fear
not,
For greater is He that is in you.
