The Four Killers Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

1. Worry
You worry too much
Channelling all your energy
Into the abyss of the unknown
Weighing down your inner peace
Burdening yourself with reckless thoughts
While the future has so many escape routes
Time is forever on the move
Time that you don't have
Stop worrying, worry will not bring solutions
It'll only consume your time
And bring you closer to your deathbed
2. Overthinking
The mind is a highway of some sort
Always troubled by traffic congestion
The smog is a persistent pollutant
Do not overthink
Overthinking kills
The outcome is always a sleepless night
Or an erectile dysfunction
Depressed mood
The list is long
3. Negative thoughts
Darkness lingers in every thought
Stay guarded against the invading masquerades
Stealth and cunning is their game plan
Repel them with positive thoughts
Never underestimate the power of prayer
4. Negative emotions
The heart is a big place
It can carry tumultuous storms
Beware of rage and jealous
These destroyers are hot
Their flames are inextinguishable
Keep away the troubled ghosts
Of long dead relationships
Heart breaks and abuse
Life is easier when you look at the brighter side
