Betcha!
Y'all enjoy sitting in a row like unserious ducks waiting to be shot! Bang! There goes the first short and yet, nobody runs for cover.
Hey, that single shot is just one too many, enough to send everyone scattering!
Did you hear it or you are just tone deaf?
Even the deaf person would have taken off after the first shot has been fired. Seeing is hearing sometimes to the deaf!
Hello. We live in a forever changing and very crowded world.
Everybody leaves their home in the morning, to join the already boiling and saturated toxic atmosphere.
Betcha! Your teachers never warned you that in this world you never live alone.
The minute you shut the door behind, your face is turned towards mixing and blending with the rest of the world.
Betcha! You didn’t know that once you’re out in the streets. Your polarity isn’t the only way people observe and yield to.
It don’t matter if you are driving or walking, direction never outweighs common sense!
This life is always a two-way road. You just can’t occupy both lanes.
Betcha! Your parents never taught you, not to go out to the world with an angry face you inherited in a brawl inside your house last night.
Hey Bozo! Remember, you may be a spoilt brat in your house, who always have their cake and eat it!
Knock, knock! The world outside doesn’t know who and what you are!
You are just one person inside the eight billion citizens of this world!
Betcha! Y’all didn’t know that manners are learned at home and not out there in the streets where fighting and survival of the fittest is king.
Don’t you go out there in the wild west and start wars you cannot finish.
Never, in your silliest moment ever underestimate some individuals by the size of their frame.
Remember, we live in the wild and unregulated world where anyone’s rules are applicable and can be enforced on everyone around their dangerous space.
Hey, chill down a little! Never try to be a hero in a dangerous situation when daggers and guns are drawn.
Seeking fame and popularity by placing the only life you have in front of imminent danger, is not a wise decision.
Betcha! Y’all didn’t know your life is more celebrated back in your home than by outsiders.
Your kids will admire you for keeping your cool head in a dangerous situation. They will praise and thank God for seeing your every time you walk through the door!
Well, nobody does that to me and get away with it. I ain’t nobody’s fool!
Whoa! Easy little hero. Some people in the streets carry real loaded firearms, and are 100% ready to pull the trigger on you!
Oh, so you’re trained in Taekwondo! How fast can you move out of the way before that bullet finds its target in your body?
Betcha! Y’all didn’t know, to survive in this world you need to wear two faces! Yep, that’s right, one for your home and one for the world!
Every time I leave the house, I walk out prepared to face the dangerous world where bullets fly in all directions, to spend my unpredictable day!
Betcha! If you will, let me whisper into your ears.
Don’t you think it’s better to learn to pray and plead for God’s cover while you wander around in the wild west before you leave?
Betcha! Patience is virtue! Whenever I enter a public building, whether a government amenities or a private one in supermarkets.
I stop looking at my watch and yield to the people who got there before me!
No undue complaining causing commotion and tension.
There was quiet and order prevailing before you poisoned the room with your stinking attitude!
Come on, go back and join the queue like everybody else!
Betcha! Hallelujah! Hello pastor, prophet, apostle and astute!
If you believe your badge makes you the exception to all the public rules. Pardon me, perhaps, you’re at the wrong place!
What in God’s world are you doing in public where not everyone is familiar with your acquisition?
Please, for peace and order, stay and remain inside your shadow like everyone else!
Sir, Madam! One of them rich oligarchs, who think some poor folks must stand in line and greet you like a king?
Let thy money perish with you! Did I hurt your Pride? Excuse me, I didn’t say that, God did! Take a deep look inside yourself!
Betcha! Y’all don’t remember Jesus’s Teachings on humbling oneself. He that wants to be great among you must be!
I shall leave this silent bandwidth for you to finish the Words of Jesus!
