Counsellors Darkening Counsels Poem by Valentine Mbagu

In the multitude of counsellors; safety abounds,
But
ln the multitude of enemies as counsellors;
deceit abounds.

Counsellors whose heart studieth destruction with lips uttering mischief;
Enemies clothed with sheep clothings as friends;
Friends whose tongues uttereth words born in deception.

Counsellors whose mouth darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge;
Enemies made counsellors whose looks appeareth friendly,
Friends whose mouth draweth iniquity by cords of vanity.

Counsellors who utter counsels coated in corruption,
Friends whose mouth worseneth counsel by words without wisdom;
Enemies whose heart pondereth in destruction.

Counsellors whose counsel are coiled in deception,
Friends who by multitudes of words cause you to err;
Enemies whose mouth captivate tender hearts.

Counsellors whose counsel destroy the paths of relationships,
Friends whose conceit counsel to death;
Enemies being enslaved seek to enslave others.

Believe not every counsel neither inculcate every word,
........... They destroy the heart..........
Believe not every friend neither heed to multitudes of words,
........... They enslave the soul............
Believe not every counsellor neither seek counsels from multitudes;
.......... They captive the mind...........

Which counsel shall we inculcate?
Which counsellors shall we believe?
Which counsellors shall we seek?

Inculcate counsels proved by love,
Believe counsellors whose counsel are weighed by truth and peace;
Seek counsellors whose counsel are words of life.

Who shall our counsellors be?

Let counsellors who are genuine and experienced be our guide;
Let counsellors who are higher and honest be our refuge.

Hope you find counsellors whose counsels are candid;
for
lt takes honest counsellors to ensure your safety.
