Another Man's Wife

Another man's wife Why would you want to take a wife of another? Destroy the world that they built and share together Whilst there is plenty of fish in the sea What would have possessed you Son? Explain to me i need to understand Stealing from a man's hand A treasure so protected. A dream he never wants to share with anyone Consciously taking away his pride Ripping him apart from his joy The love of his life Son! Make me understand because I don’t understand How you find the strength to convince another's better part to be yours is a mystery to me. Explain! Because this is a riddle I wish to understand What would have possessed you? Sit down son, Let’s have a talk Let’s share your hidden thoughts Make me understand Please do I want to know what drives you to the bed of married woman What spirit would have possessed you? You call that love? ls it love or a game of lust, filled with privileges and no responsibilities. Son! This game always ends with a knife at your throat Stay away Written by Tawona Mzila Ranganawa
