THE CHOICE by Prince Ekanem

THE CHOICE by Prince Ekanem
September 28, 2016
Poetry

My desires made me callous.
Their bare bodies I long to see.
Like a thirsty athlete Desires water, my cravings for Porn knew no bounds.
No fear of God, no thoughts of repercussions.
To satisfy my urge my heart desires.
Hunger pangs can’t describe the urge.

Think twice my friend a calm voice speaks.
That could be your mother
That could be your sister.
What is good for the Goose, is good for the Gander.
Some are exploited, some have no hope.
See them in this light, the Father loves us all.

It quickly dawned on me how selfish I have been.
God’s fear I need, his light I seek.
Make the right Choice, whenever the urge comes.
The choice you make will make your day.

By Ekanem

About Ekanem

Ekanem, according to Mirabelle, is an awesome, amazing, hardworking and illustrious historian with the heart of a diplomat. He’s a final year student of History and International Studies, UNICAL. In this poem, he takes us into the shoes of the poet persona, a young struggling Christian. This is what many secretly go through.
