Figure Of Speech

By The original Eman

There seems to be an occurring figure of speech floating through my brain as i wake up in the morning relishing a bowl of cereal to start my day. I put on the telly as the grim reaper stands tall laughing behind me mocking humanity preaching us to be even more corrupt so he can have a good days work.

I sat down with a frown on my face saddened by the amount of killings minute by minute taking place as my bowl of cereal became saturated. Just like the birds weakened from nobody no longer hearing its cry as it witness the dark and gloomy shadows of humanity fallen down embarking with the seven deadly sins , swimming through the oceans of envy and gluttony.

"The world as it is". The words became so heavy even a fork lift couldn't lift it from the floor, the cries of mothers sent shivers down my spine as the police officer told her unfortunately we was too late. Anxieties crippled onto are skins as the super powers of the world began to inflict more destruction. Hope became distant and light like a mere feather as depressions sits and takes its course. The reflection of humans oozed sin with there hearts covered in a thick fog.

I turned the telly off, threw my cereal in the bin, looked out the window, and watched a flower blossom right in front of me. Peace ran through my veins and suddenly did not feel the need to have a frown on my face any longer.

Those words came again, It seemed to echo even more but it didn’t seem that daunting hearing them. the destruction, chaos , pain and suffering being cemented on the grounds that we walked on seem to bear cracks as love and faith blossomed just like the flower and shined so bright the dark corners of the world started to cry and the light became unbearable for it to stay.

As I stared at the tree, I’m left with a smile on my face, unconcerned at the world and its fault, undeterred at humanity looking down on me but rejuvenated by the comfort of God’s smile.So You see this is the world as it is, painful at times and heartache is just one word of many to describe the trials and tribulations we go through. But just like the tree blossoming so as my faith and God’s smile and the occurring figure of speech no longer battles  with my brain but becomes a distant memory which cannot find the room or space to trouble me anymore

I like how you made a statement, "the dark and gloomy shadows of humanity fallen down embarking with the seven deadly sins, swimming through the oceans of envy and gluttony." Indeed, the world nowadays is full of the deadly seven sins of mankind. God has given us a choice. . . the freedom to choose. There may be so much pain and tribulations in one's life. But God's smile, grace and love with our faith in Him comfort us all in everything that we do. Good hub!

Thanks Tina v you gave a real good evaluation and your a piece on how to maintaining a healthy relationship was very refreshing you tackled a lot of issues like learning to listen which i think is so essential in a relationship which a lot of people don't do hence the increase in divorces around the country keep up the good work .

Wow Eman - Most impressive. I love the way your words flow. It is wonderful to see the balance in all things. I think it keeps us sane, more sane than we would be if we allowed the ugliness to consume us and the beautiful to die. Thank you for this.

You place the reader right at your breakfast table and talk as if to an old friend...I'm a new friend and was delighted to read this sharing Hub...In your bio you finish with " ...Cherish every moment because being angry for a minute is 60 seconds of happiness gone.." Wonderful sentiment...Carpe Diem, my friend...Larry

Should we as sinners, seek after the things of this world we will only find more of what you describe as "gloomy shadows" everywhere. The inescapable world we live in has elements of light as well as shadows. I think we choose to be one or the other as in "Desiderata". I like your introspection though, as it can be hard to express.

I came to this hub happy and then found myself utterly sad. I wanted to stop reading before your words threw me into a depression I did not want to deal with. But the sadness had me tangled and I could not get out of its grasp. I am so glad I continued to read because your words of peace and light brought me back up and reminded me that although the world is a difficult place sometimes, with all its sorrow, it is also BEAUTIFUL in the tiniest ways :)
