I Can't Hear You!

This week I thought I would share some of my poetry, to get you thinking and inspired. Watch what you allow to infiltrate your spirit. Protect it all costs! Be about positivity towards others. Ephesians 4:29 – “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

 

 

 

I Can’t Hear You!

 

Some may ask me what’s the matter

You’re wondering if I can hear

There is nothing wrong with my ears

I just can’t afford to have certain things near

 

I’ve become allergic to negative things

Whether it’s something small or great

I have to stay away from the contaminates

Before it has a direct impact on my fate

 

When I hear you talk badly about

Your brother and sister in Christ

It is not benefiting me one bit

Please go find yourself a life

 

I Can’t Hear You!

 

When you thrash with your words

The ministry gifts that grace the pulpit

Please refrain from that noise

Stay in your lane, and flow in your ministry gifts

 

I Can’t Hear You!

                                                                                 

When you’ve fallen down

And we’ve pray and tried to help you get up

But you make a conscious decision

To wallow in self pity and stay down in the dumps

 

I Can’t Hear You!

 

You see it’s not that I am insensitive

To all that goes on around me

But I’m growing in grace and maturity

And leaving those baby things behind me

 

Gossiping, Criticism, Negativity

Phoniness, Lies, all seem to run amuck

But to get where God is requiring you to be

You have to be strong and dismiss all that stuff

 

So the next time someone brings something

Negative, and it’s not edifying me or you

Look at them with a stern look on your face

And tell them---I Can’t Hear You!!!!
