The Path I Choose

Demand a love so big
Oh Yee! don't succumb to lips
It makes you choke
now don't get jealous of me

Because I'm successful and you are not
Don't envy my time
Patience is a virtue
Your time will come

For slowly slowly we blossom
No more will we have to ask...
What do we do?

How long will you play with fire
Untill your heart has no flesh left to burn
The only thing that bothers me is your jelousy
Ooh no! forgive my luck

For this little life
We walk paths our own way
Hopping it will make them feel better
Instead it makes them feel worse

Muyesa, NKOSI iSikelela! It could be man or woman who envies you. Competition for earnings in a "marriage" could be good ... but how do we keep competition HEALTHY? Your poem raises that vital question for me. I love Stanza#3.
