I Heard Poeple Say You Are Here Poem by Kgosigkadi Asher Mavuso

I heard people say you are here
I always hear people say you are here
Im always looking out for you
Im always looking at my shoulders and watching my steps

I don’t want you to get to my family or me
I don’t want you to even step at my door let along being near my gate
Neither do I want you as my neighbor.

Now you’re here you’ve over stepped all the lines I was hoping you’d never go over
Why have you taken over positions that you don’t belong to.

You crawled in like the thief in the night
You where conceived in silence.
Like a vilen no ever sees you.
You are not powerful but you’ll lead people to think you have all the power.

A minute you were born, millions died because of fear
Everyone is used to you now
You are popular and famous to the whole world but still,
Millions die because of fear infested by you.
You are a small monster no one ever sees you
Like a bad spirit it’s easy not easy to notice when you are around
No one sees you coming but when you leave you take a soul with you

How could you be so cruel?
You are a parasite and you think of no one else but yourself
Some people try to be nice to you by making you feel at home
But you still don’t appreciate that.

You multiply yourself into millions and millions of you
So you cannot loose power
You boost your energy with blood and semen
You make yourself popular by taking advantage of others
By invading on other people’s weaknesses.
