Pleasure seeking

Bang!! bang! Thrill-seeking! 
Lives ruining!
Her world! 
No, not her world 
Her scene 
Her escape! Yes! 
A place of fun in the dark 
Her wild corner 
Her fightback stage 
Her shrine 
Her parallel world 
Quiet, responsive and responsible 
She was a medical doctor 
With a very successful practice 
She was single and lonely and careful
She got into the nightlife scene 
all by herself 
She used to say she couldn't be a part 
of it 
Where do they get the time? 
How do they function during the day? 
How would anyone live like that? 
Driving from club to club 
Blowing money and time like fools 
She called them the "Vampires"!
Then the loneliness got to her 
It always closed in and hits unexpectedly 
When she was idle and there was a lull 
on her plate 
She had fallen in love and gotten heartbroken 
She needed the release 
Just a drink and some shisha 
Something wild to get her to sleep 
Something different
She got to the lounge 
The noise got her
 It kept her eyes open 
People moving in and out of the shadow 
Ladies dancing up a storm 
Guys grabbing what they could 
No, not a place of dignity 
It was a place for the wild and the furious 
She felt drawn into it 
Pulled into the ambience
She returned again and again 
Until she made friends 
Guys who would buy drinks hoping 
she would misbehave 
She drank like a fish 
She even surprised herself 
How come she adapted to alcohol 
that easily 
She smoked too 
Not too much 
Just a little 
It was her Batman cave 
Her other life
Soon she was sleeping with one 
of the married men 
They dominated the club 
Their wedding rings proudly adorning 
their fingers 
They had the money and wanted a fling 
They offered only a quid pro quo 
They spend and you ride 
She never thought she would do it 
She didn't need the money
She was a born again Christian 
She kept her other life to herself 
Nobody knew she lived that way 
And yet a man came into the picture 
They met at the club 
A married man 
A doctor like herself 
He saw her and said "I will sleep with 
you tonight" 
She ignored him 
Cheap shot 
He went away
She forgot all about him 
Around 4 AM After several drinks 
She decided not to drive 
He showed up and asked her if she 
would like to come to his room 
She didn't want to but it has been 
a while 
Everything was pent up 
She needed the eruption 
She followed him and she rode him hard!
She left him at about 6 AM 
He was still asleep 
She felt no shame 
No remorse Only a sense of urgency 
She had to be at work within two hours 
She got home and rushed off to work 
He called He didn't like the way she left 
She made him feel cheap 
She apologized
 What was she turning to?
But the nightlife has a twisted whistle 
Once it calls, she must heed 
As the day darkened, she laid on her bed 
The noise comes 
The music comes 
A struggle begins 
Stay or go, stay or go, stay or go 
She becomes restless 
A stirring begins 
The call of the night starts and 
always wins...
He had her over and over 
She could resist him if she wanted to 
But he was an offering of the night 
A gift of the nightlife to her 
They had sex and did small talk 
He was married and she was not that 
kind of girl! 
She wished she knew what she 
was doing 
She wished she could turn...
On November 30, 2019 
She met with the Brother in Jeans 
and T-shirt 
He was in Abuja for a hangout session 
She went for the service 
Met him after the service 
As soon as he held her hands 
She fell under the anointing 
There was a pain she had been nursing 
A sickness that lingered
The pain left her immediately 
She rolled on the floor and writhed 
as the evil pain was drawn slowly 
out of her body 
Wow! 
When she got back to her feet she felt 
light 
He agreed with her in prayer that it 
wouldn't return 
Wow! God still loves her! Wow! 
When she got home she made up 
her mind 
No more playing around with fire 
No more alcohol 
No more married men 
The nightlife has changed her 
Exposed her to a world 
she was beginning to see as normal 
Evil was becoming good to her 
Her choices showed she was holding 
the truth in unrighteousness 
It had to stop
She stopped seeing him 
She stopped drinking 
She stopped smoking too 
She started finding her way back 
to the light 
It was tough 
The wild night's sway held fast 
She must put self first 
The pleasure of the night was like 
the death of a thousand cut 
Just another cut might be her end!

PS: There are so many lights
dimming their shine in order to
fit in!
He that is joined to the Lord must
depart from iniquity
Hanging around with the shadows
and cavorting with unbelievers is
a slippery slope
Remember Dinah!
She wanted to look like the women
of Canaan
It ended badly
