Milking them dry

I first saw her on a facebook
post
a galant soulja 
milking them dry 
on frivolous costs,

She came unto me like a pillar of salt
Sodom and Gomorrah melting 
on the spot

Who knew her name
now that the bill is brought

Too many ladies
trying to make it count

Never trust a man 
who declares his pain,
Infront of a  woman whose 
crucifix is blurred

Its so sad that we never get to lift 
it,
In honour of the fallen whose graves 
we now trot

Bank heroines

Most of them think they are needed
Indebted bankers, surviving on 
missed calls

Soon they'll discover life is
more than installments,
bare chested heroines
submerged
in debt

A solitary straw 
in an empty glass
half sliced 
lemon in a crystal plaque

Who will call you when your 
bundles wrap,

Shame isn't smoking 
but it is
in the borrowed match

A bank is a bank, only if we
go back

Not Perfect

I realize,
God has given 
me,

a job that's not 
perfect

a family that's
not
perfect

Friends that are not
at all
perfect

But He Himself is perfect
and so are my kids
perfectly irresistible

Only God is perfect and
He chose me
in His eyes
am just
perfect
