DESTINATION: OFF COURSE

I embraced my demons last week.
Came to halting stop right in the middle of the race and just caressed the lustful one that followed at my heel.
The smell of the intoxicating drink forced me to apply a screeching break
A break that was followed by a mad dash into the tarvern to sit at my former table once more.
A break that was accompanied by a dizzying dash to the mall of sin once
Upon reaching, I filled my cart with all merchandise of death whose expiry dates were very close.

Into the row of fornication, I pushed my trolley with my heart beating at an unusual rate.
Engaging in a quick routine of five breathe-ins and five breathe-outs, I calmed my heart a little.
While I pushed with my left hand, my right hand picked the merchandise.

The gesha of five-minutes sex with the fair Vanessa, I picked.
The cornflakes of viagra induced one hour sex with Titi the instagram slay mama, I picked quickly.

Then, I left and veered into the row of lies.
The indomie packs of bus lies, I picked.
For bus lies are the easiest and fastest to prepare.
Then I picked the custard of church lies.
For this helped me to prepar such a wondrous lie that was thick in content and totally fooled the pastor.

Then I mistakenly picked up the cerelac of office lies.
For I unsuccessful tried to hoodwink my boss into signing some unworthy check
A ruse that brought a response of stern reprove and loss of trust.

While I shopped, the mall management increased the volume of the radio which blared lewd lyrics
An increase in volume that blurred out the tiny words of knowledge coming out from my earpiece.

Then, in, came my Jesus to save me
Dressed in a janitor's outfit.
He quickly raced towards my location and stopped me right in my tracks.

With the words, "I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU" emblazoned in bright colors across His shirt, He beckoned on me.

My heart sank when I saw Him.

My feet shook in trepidation as my dull senses cleared and I realized where I was.
My lips quivered with unexplainable emotions wishing to burst out at that moment.


How could He still love me so much when I failed to keep up the pace?

How could He still place much so much value on me as opposed to humans who would have dumped me since.
For I knew that the church would have branded me a rogue and stripped me of every role.
For I knew that my darling wife would have filed in for divorce papers at the earliest time]
For I knew that my boss would have thrown me under the bus of unemployment and rode over me till I became a squatter under the bridge.

Indeed
Men would have done all that
But my Jesus still places value in me
