We Are Our Own Worst Enemies Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Often we harm ourselves
Often we destroy ourselves
Often we injure ourselves
Often we attack ourselves
Often we cause the turmoil in our own lives
Often we cause the havoc in our own lives
Often we are our own worst enemies.

We harm ourselves by the words we speak
We destroy ourselves by the actions we take
Worst still by the actions we refuse to take
We injure ourselves by the choices we make
We cause havoc by the thoughts we entertain
We attack ourselves by refusing to listen.

The words we speak return to haunt us
The words we speak become weapons against us
We take actions without planning
We take actions without praying
The thoughts we entertain are lethal weapons
Pride closes our ears to sound advises
Thus we are our own worst enemies.

Many speak ill about the Word of God
Many think Christianity is foolishness
Many disregard the warnings in the Bible
They act outside the Word of God
They plan outside the Word of God
They are their own worst enemies
They are their own worst enemies.
