Description

This poem, Call Me A.C. Green…, is an introspective and reflective piece that portrays the author’s journey of self-discipline, spirituality, and perseverance. Using the metaphor of the basketball “court of life,” the poem connects the struggles of living a morally centered life to the commitment of A.C. Green, a former NBA player known for his abstinence and focus.

The piece highlights the tension between worldly temptations—represented by dating apps, physical attraction, and fleeting pleasures—and the pursuit of spiritual integrity. By choosing to resist these distractions, the author expresses a desire to stay faithful to their beliefs and prepare for a future relationship built on solid moral and spiritual foundations.

The imagery of “battling this lustful world” and “keeping my eternal sunshine” illustrates the inner conflict between the flesh and the soul, while “overlooking the message builds my character and integrity” conveys the active choice of self-restraint.

The poem’s structure is rhythmic and intentional, emphasizing the daily practice of faith and self-control. It also reflects a deep trust in God, who the author credits as the guiding force for maintaining clarity and peace. Ultimately, the poem is a testimony of personal values, determination, and the ability to transcend societal pressures.
