Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Temptation

temptation
the forbidden fruit
is sweet they say 
but who forbid
the forbidden fruit
since the sweetness 
is sweeter than taste
nowadays
so I wonder around 
me why life
 comes along with
temptation

temptation
the forbidden fruit
is sweet they say 
it is so tasty in every
weak lips of lies
it corrupt the soul 
of the innocent
while
it increases the greed
of the greedy
it leaves illusion
in the mind of 
it victim
how come today 
we run all time 
to it illusion everywhere
is a reality truth and that
leaves me wondering 
in a world of 
temptation

temptation
the forbidden fruit
is sweet 
but not in the lips
of the truth
it is heavy on the 
minds of many 
yet they prefer it 
hardship
it bleed depression
in the shallow 
mind of the confused
hearts in need of 
knowledge
our today world 
look beautiful 
but the only beautiful
thing about us 
today's is to repeat
shows of shame 
from yesterdays mistake
in disguise of 
civilisation
who is civilised
in a world of 
temptation

temptation
the forbidden fruit
is sweet 
yet it end to an 
eye opening
where we can 
see what we couldn't
have a knowledge of 
despite humans are scared of
change yet
life still remains
a teacher in a world of 
temptation
