Poems by Tafadzwa Mutandakamwe aka Starly Taa from Zimbabwe
Going back to do that things I used to do, just a nuisance. I’m sure to change my ways by leaps and bounds.
It was then when I consumed pride. Never knew pride goes before a fall.
I certainly to turn over a new leaf. A stitch in time saves nine.
It was then when I consumed drugs.
Drugs which made me molest innocent girls.
Their pride I took, seld respect I snatched and virginity I stole. I showed no remote.
A monster I had become. Never learn to rough it, easy, I did my things. Bribe,force and theft were my tactics. I certainly to turn over a new leaf. A stitch in time saves nine.
I was a malediction instead of a benediction towards my family. An opprobrium I was after dragging their name to mud. The proverb,” look before your leap, didn’t mean anything to me then.
I left my family in the lurch after snatching their wealth. I certainly to turn over a new leaf. A stitch in time saves nine.
It was then when I was famous for being deceitful.These times when I sailed under false colors. I regarded myself a pugilist and deemed everyone recreants.
It was I who never missed out any fall out. An affirmation, I had taken to pick holes with anyone better than me.
I won’t be the same old me. I certainly to turn over a new leaf. I won’t go back to the things I used to do!
