Daily I search the scripture
Because I'm scared of rapture
Before me lies my addiction
Though not against my tradition.
The troubles of life weigh me down
Fate has pushed me up and down
My sorrows and worries multiply
Responsibilities I can't supply.
Family and friends have deserted me
Like Job's wife, in suffering she let me be
I have realized my mollies and follies
Never you judge my jollies and dollies.
Salvation lies in the Holy Book
Though I smoke, I read and look
Ekwensu seeks to own my soul,
In faith, Jesus will make me whole.
Addiction
Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
