LOWER YOUR GAZE [A Rhythmic admonition] By ‘Lanre Bucknor

Today

A stunner of a babe

Strolled into my work space

But like a child in haste

I lowered my gaze

#

For

Like a smile

Hiding a brace

And like a slap

Birthing a daze

I fear the maze*

Leading to that blissful place**

And

The monumental craze

Leading to the raging cage***

#

And so,

I have lowered the Mace

For the chase of vain gains

And I have acted with a heart this plain

Like the prophet warned and maintained

#
I have lowered my gaze

To clearly see better days

‘Lanre Bucknor writes from Lagos and is never a saint, he tries so so hard to conquer his inner perverted self, although it is a tough thing for him to do but he strives irrespective because Q24: 30-31. ‘Lanre actually felt like a hypocrite while penning this but maybe, just maybe a rehabilitated one.
