Poisonous Berry

January 12 2018 , Written by Ofem Ubi Published on #poetry, #Inthebeginning

So I asked,

Why does sin look so tasty, poisonous berry

Why does wrong feel right always

How come we know it’s wrong but still engage in it anyways

Are we overwhelmed by the pleasure than the consequence?

Or do we think the repercussion lacks adequate competence

Why do we act before thinking?

More like we’ve digested before eating

And why does it come in so many forms even

Even in the form of that which is genuine?

So much we know not which is and which is not

Why does it have so many costumes?

And lastly, why are we it’s most common attire?

How did we become so unguarded, becoming the very deceiver of ourselves
