Toxic Friend

By Idowu Ayomide

By Idowu Ayomide Published 2 years ago 1 min read

Contaminant and pollutant

His negative influence destroys

His damagaing influence mains

He pollutes

He contaminates

He tarnishes innocent nature

He soils good reputation

His suggestion aborts good dreams

His advice empty potentials

He is a toxic

An opposing friend

He motivates ungodly passions

He is a rebel

He encourages disobedience

His acts are invalid

Like a roaring lion

Seeking whom to devour

Like a wild car

Ravening the prey

Toxic friend ravens his victims

Unhand him

Fulfill your purpose

Say I to the beast

Maximize your potentials

Shun his rebellious advice.

Flee from the old serpent.

The known camel of confusion.

    I have a friend, let me rephrase that, I know someone who has a problem speaking well of someone. She has a stepson who is gay and will never refer to him using his name, Steven. She refers to him as "gay-guy". I'm a home health care aide and my patient. She calls her "whacko lady" ... Yes, I try to avoid her as much as possible.
