Flesh Fight

Why I fight with my flesh?

Dem say it dead to di law

Maybe I should find another

The great one was raised up

This fight might be easy then.

 

This flesh like fun, a fight awaits

motions of sins, what opinion matter?

Worked me to bring forth fruit from death.

What if me delivered from law

 

That being dead wherein I was held

Now I serve in newness of spirit

Not in the oldness, no sire

What should I say then?

Does this law really sin?

The almighty forbid.

I did not know sin, but law did

I didn’t understand lust, law was watching

Don’t covet, was the warning

 

What does that even mean?

This law a try kills me.

I was having fun without this law

commandment came, a could a Wah tis now?

sin revived, and I died.

 

Occasion by commandment,

deceived me, then it slew me.

Over with now, not feeling it

Whatever was good, made death on me

The almighty forbid.

working death in me by what is good

my flesh was exceedingly sinful.

Me carnal, sold under law.

Fight starting, not sure who will win

I undress her with the mind

She is looking at me, I’m not saying nothing

If then I do that which I would not,

I consent none of this, don’t say a word.

I feel it was not me, really?

 

Why is everyone looking at me?

This fight of flesh, confusing

Not sure when I win or lose

Oh no, what I’m I feeling now?

good I’m not sure.

 

For the good that I would, not sure I should

The doings that start the ruckus, I agree

Now when I do that, feelings no right

Someone or somebody need to take response,

Emotions running, now I feel light headed

Now I really don’t know my findings,

A bad feel is present with me. Wtf

 

I need to do a new motion

But I see another in the mirror

That face smiling, why I’m I just staring

bringing me to captivity of the flesh then

 

A horrible man I am!

who will deliver me from this flesh?

I feel there is a great one

So then with the mind of mine

We have made a unanimous decision

Oh wait, the fight has resume, stay tune.

 

The End
