LUST FOR FLESHLY FIRE.
We are all chased, by a beautiful demon,
Feeling so haunted, by shadows of moon,
Smart but fooled, we are all but buffoons,
When so aroused, we explode like balloons,
Sexually as possessed, acting like cartoons,
Does love or sex-drive, push us to marry?
Sinking we dive, emotions to bury,
Drunk we dive, vision too blurry,
Painfully we strive, burning on sun ray,
Just to joyride, enjoying our misery,
Men with little girls, inside fancy cars,
Enjoying meat grills, inside expensive bars,
High on high heels, rolling with a baler,
Sponsor my bills, paid by her white collar,
Swallowing her pills, just for cheap dollars,
Women with young boys, flirting with sugar mummy,
Boyfriends to boy-toys, relating just for small money,
Girlish to some tomboys, all wear to be gloomy,
Playing with sex toys, lonely but still horny,
A generation enjoys, in just being phony,
Men want to be women,
Women want to be men,
Feminism against men,
Maleness for women,
Are our morals forgotten,
Or naturally rotten?
Sex a sweet sensation soaring a generation,
Sexual morality is just a notion of a nation,
Should we adjust for tolerance, moderation or correction?
Is it Godly adoration or is it Godly abomination?
Sex without marriage consideration or is it fornication?
Commercial sex working or is it prostitution?
Rape or is it sex without partner concession?
Should we value sexual experience or value virginity?
Is it sexual decency or is it normalized nudity?
Is it pornography or is it sexual publicity?
Is it sterile mating or is it homosexuality?
Like a machine...
Bolt and screw must fix for man making,
Like a liquor...
It is at its best when kept in moderation,
But,
Who is a woman?
A beautiful creature only that it requires money to be more humane,
Or is it a defensive bee lured by the flower nectar to leave its honey unguarded?
Who is a man?
A handsome creature only that it craves for sex and dominion,
Or is it a dog that digs holes everywhere to look for the best bone to chew?
Therefore, whether man is to woman or both are unto themselves, or even both choose themselves,
They must constitute a family, society and a nation through collective responsibility to form a state.
By Mwalimu Patrick Wambua.
About this poem
I wrote this poem to warn of upcoming decay and erosion of moral values ongoing in the society. People nowadays don't appreciate the decency of love and marriage. It is a potential danger for the next generation, and my question is-What really pushes us to marry? LOVE or LUST?
