A Friendly Warning Poem by Martin Nyundu

Be Proud of Yourself

If you're not proud of anyone, at least be proud of yourself.
If you can't do it for others, then do it for your own growth.
If no one offers help, rise and do it on your own.
I won't judge you—and neither should you judge yourself.

You exist because God has a purpose for you here.
So live your life with pride, not shame or fear.
In our faith, we reject evil—
Be mindful of the beliefs you choose to follow.

This is no threat, but a friendly warning:
Don't let greed blind you in your yearning.
If money is the root of evil,
Then the devil is its stem—
And if you worship the devil,
You become one of its branches.

Cut yourself free, and you shall be saved.
I speak only truth—
Lies won't save you,
But truth might.

Believe in yourself.
Do what is right.
No one can change you—
But you can change your life.
Start today,
And you shall be saved.
