''lest there be any fornicator,
or profane person, as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat
sold his birthright''...Hebrews 12:16
It was the year 2000.
Joshua was newly employed
In my office;
A Millennium Staff,
A Chartered Accountant,
And a bubbling christian.
He was everything I ever
Wanted in a man.
Tall, eloquent, intelligent
And good looking.
He was God- sent
So, I thought.
I was desperate.
Joshua seemed
To know my weakness
And I fell for him.
We had two dates;
And I let down my guards.
I never knew Joshua
Was married but living single!
His wife and children
Were based in Abuja.
No wonder he travels
Often to Abuja
Under the guise
To see his parents.
I've been scammed!
I didn't see the red flags.
Silly me!
I was already pregnant,
Six weeks gone,
Before I knew.
What a shame!
I sold my birthright
On a platter of gold!
Encouraging....great works
