Hapi Mpetes Words Poem
Young man, cheating is like investing in self-sorrow
You inflict now, the pain on yourself that you’re only going to feel in future
Look at life this way and observe
As we look around and find that there’s no one watching us
We quickly run into the darkness and betray those who trust us
Not for long, light comes in and we’re seen
For we’re always found out, one way or another
And we realize how these walls have been blessed with sight
No walls befriend any man
Never hide behind them, it’s foolish to confide behind walls
It’s foolish to act and hide
Yet wise are the acts of light
Thick plastered as they may be, these walls can clearly see
And beautifully colored as they may be, these walls will tell all your dark secrets
News goes out and the world is told
“The young man has cheated”
He pulls in all efforts to get his remorse across
She feels betrayed
She feels better with time and the wheel of her life starts to roll
I thought that was all in the past and said to my friends
And to myself
“I have only cheated one person in my life”
I was disturbed by the sarcastic laugh of Time
As maturity arrived with a message that said:
“I came to tell you that when you were cheating on that person, you were also cheating on yourself”
You couldn’t see it then because when the ‘betrayed’ sought for answers and understanding
You went away as you didn’t realize that you would also become tomorrow
A victim of your now actions
Young man. When we cheat on people we cheat on ourselves
Although we notice on the spot that we have deceived and hurt these people, we only notice sometime in future that we have also done the same acts to ourselves
It is like investing in self-sorrow
We inflict now, the pain on ourselves that we’re only going to feel in future
By the time we notice this; often these people we have hurt have healed from the pain
And we’re left with a big hole within ourselves when their success rejects us and their failures hug and kiss us
This is how the see of guilt is conceived and the child of regret is born
Believe this is one child you wouldn’t want grow
Do not plant the seed of deceive on people; it will grow back on you one day when you’re older

Hapi Mpetes Words Poem
Examined, verdict, weak
Examined, verdict, weak
Third attempt, the verdict is weak
How different man are you, from an animal that can't curb his crave?
What man are you, who can't perceive his grave?
This is not for the swift
If leaders couldn’t hide
What hope is left for followers to win this fight?
Wives made peace and to love weak characters
For even the mountain boys fell victim to the battle of thighs
Mad blind man, although lost, he thinks he can see
Strong man, look at how weak is thy strength
I saw the wise fall on his knees
Calling on the Spirits to keep his household in peace
The blind fighting with mind
Though this is not a subject of might
Ran over the entire bloodline
Yet in the midst of the highest thigh-attention the Young man has ever seen
I see the once-thought fallen bloodline trample over heads of sin
To the old blood with much love and the rest of my father’s clan with honour and respect
Your downfall was the lack of knowledge
You blessed us with the spell; we were heirs to the throne of a curse
Yet we don't love you any less
The old was blind, but the new sees
All the confusion behind the sour taste of the age twenty four
You were not animals, for you were ashamed to harm
The new holds tight to Son of man’s arm
My fight in this darkness is nearly done
My daughters and son, long before you come
Blessed are you, for you are the seed of the blood of the saved
My cursed blood was snatched from the grave
Not because the heart was brave
But the heavens were willing to save
As you flow through a life less severe challenges
Forget not the one things that never changes
The story of your bloodline
We were born fallen victims of the world's shameful curse
And failed the test of thighs
The entire six was examined and the verdict was weak
The entire six was examined and the verdict was weak
But on the last attempt, the verdict was strong
Say thank you, Thank you, Jesus
The bloodline has passed the test of thighs
