i'm a slave...

I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

I get blinded by anger and
Lose my temper
Causing danger
Cos
I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

I wear my pride on my sleeve
When I walk down the street
Careful as you greet
A slight I may perceive
Cos
I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

Wealth seduces
Entices into vices
Questionable deeds
And shady devices
Cos
I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

Beauty beguiles
Possessiveness reviles
Lust defiles
Cos
I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

Power Craving
Hunger Making
Lowers my sensing
Cos
I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

Attacked by temptation
Devilish persuasion
Internal Excitement
And
External Enticement
Cos
I’m only human,
So full of sin,
A slave.

…But…

I’m also one of the chosen
Able to reason
with
Kindness
Compassion
A slave

I can swallow my pride
Fight a good fight
Bow down and pray
Give loving praise
A slave

I was born to worship
Supplicate
And
Prostrate
A slave

I may be human
So full of sin
But
I’m only my Creator’s humble slave
And
That makes me brave
A slave.

"We have certainly created man in the best of stature, then We return him to the lowest of the low , except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted, so what yet causes you to deny the Recompense?? " (95 : 4-8)
