WATERMARK

May 15 2017 , Written by Ofem Ubi Published on #poetry

I saw temptation today

Resting on a feminine case

Now it was never my intention to talk but,

As I starred twice into its eyes

I wished the sun never found its home

Temptation said it’s a wealthy businessman

That thrives on popular demand

With an exchange rate too high

But yet we afford

It told me its major commodity

Said it invests so much on feminity

It inflates or deflates

All based on customers choices

Temptation has a watermark

Only visible after purchase

It is hell wrapped in heaven

A juice that turns sour once tasted

It leads the heart to wander

To search for what isn’t though it seems it is

Temptation is a liar

That only tells you the truth when you’re beheaded

When it’s too late

And of what use is the truth when the past cannot be amended

Shutting David’s eyes won’t erase the taste of Bathsheba

 But refusing to turn the stone to bread is the recipe to avert disaster

I was once told…

That prevention is better than cure

And if that’s true

Then it’s high time we ran every time we saw it coming

Would you rather spend your money on drugs?

When you knew you could actually avoid the symptoms of the disease

Ok I’m done starring, Farewell…
