»The Voice, Guess who?«

by Shylet Noma Clint Mncube, August 4, 2014

I love lonely hearts.
I hate faithful partners.
I love married women and men they are my easy target.
Temptation is my trend.
I hate it when people block me.
I love teenagers who are going through adolescence and life challenges.
I hate it when they abstain.
Guess who?

I lie but who doesn't.
I am the originator of secrets and lies.
But you can't keep me in your body for a long time without me showing off.
I love unprotected sex.
I hate condoms with a passion.
I love cheating husbands and wives.
I should be called a destroyer or destructor. *hahaha*
I love alcohol, drugs, clubs, partying, carelessness, that's my style.
I hate education and advice.
Because when they are informed, I am just powerless.
I just love attention! I am an attention seeker.
Confusion is my comfort zone.
Who am I?

I have destroyed nations and still counting.
Poor children they become orphans because I take their parents ,
And even take their own little souls before they bud.
I spread so quickly more than the hottest gossip.
I love it when people lack wisdom and knowledge about me.
That strengthens me.
Ooh I love pain!

Can anyone get rid of me?
Scientists have tried getting a cure but it has been to no avail.
Yoh but when they pray and have faith it just makes me weak.
The presence of fear makes me hopeful.
Why aren't you getting stressed because that's where I operate efficiently, when you are under pressure and unhappy.
I'm a smooth operator, a deceiver.
I can be your worst enemy, your best friend or even your life partner.
Most importantly though I hate to say it myself you can avoid me, reject me, get rid of me or deal with me in so many ways but that you have to find out for yourself.
I am who you imagine me to be!

»You matter, No matter what!«

I was thrown on the ground, rejected & cast away / they thought I did not have value / in a dumpsite where my kind belonged as they said / I was rejected / But I knew who I was and what I possessed / what I was carrying inside of me, was greater than to care about what they say. / Dirt pilled on me, day  sign in to read more »

»Power of words«

When I was but a young girl I just loved opposites, then I didn't know they attract. / Defying the odds and always being the odd one out, now I only find out it's what they call gender. / Female, feminine, phenomenal are words I started understanding when I became a young woman. / Pubic, puberty is not  sign in to read more »
