GROWING PAINS
It’s all about pain, frustration, tears. Fears, it’s all about fighting temptation
Watch the sun rise and set to the darkest thoughts of contemplation
My heart smiles not, my lungs laugh not to restoration
My light shines not it dims even the most vital motivation
From the day I was born to the day I shall die with lamentation
The question to my satisfaction still stands without fortification
The course of my education, my certificates sleep in nullification
The restoration of my sanity, my greatness, my dream is in a state of decomposition
As I watch it decay to a fossil plant without inspiration
I`m the brown leaf without respiration or perspiration
I am the unlubricated machine imprisoned in storage without life or action
The anger trapped in me bleeds my heart to death
It hurts my soul to a coma, to a collapse, to a faint
The pain and rage within me sends my brain to a trauma
To a clot of dangerous damaged stage of acts and drama
The finger pointing at me with pity soils my confidence
The mouth laughing at me spoils my happiness to a gloom.
That blossom to an irrational and uncontrollable doom.
The tongue that betrays me kills my authenticity
Usurp my serenity; launch a highly tactical robbery of my ecstasy
My peers are at the lecture room behind desks reading and writing
I am standing behind the lifeless tiles cleaning
Standing behind the stove cooking.
That was not the vision that was not the mission.
That was not my dream, it was not the operation

Precious Ncube Poem
DESTINY OF THE MOMENT
His smile stretched enough to extend his ears to a meeting point
His laughter wide enough to crack a joint
Yet aII this was a noisy melody and an emotional fraud
That made us aliens of each other and opened a gorge
All the pretence, manipulation that made me believe I`m your destiny
I opened my heart ripped it out of my body and poured it into your hands willingly
As I streaked a pause into the future seeing nothing but prosperity
A big family of Kings and Queens of serenity
Me and you living as an inseparable entity
Our love more in quantity and in the best mode of quality
But not with your eyes my love you deem otherwise
You see a woman lacking feminism, reasoning, respect and stability
You’ve left me in an incomplete dream to traumatize
Oh! What degree of incompetence is bore of me
For you to pour such a predicament that sting like a bee
In puzzles that stretch my eyes for I`m a hindrance for you to see
Any amp of light but a silly excuse of humanity
Unstable, unfit, unsuccessful and very much with no certainty
Oh!, what a fool to be foolished by the foolish universal emotion
To be dullified by the most stupid notion
To believe and be lured comfortable without conscious or caution
Stupid will I be, if I ever walk the same road
Let me embrace myself and exempt me from this double edged sword.

Precious Ncube Poem
A FOOL WAS I ALL THE TIME
He was like coal
He was evil like Lucifer
He was a monster
And his name was Adam
One clever day l dumped him
The feeling was good
The result could not be crude
It was sublime, it was magnificent
Within a month came another Adam
He was chocolate in complexion
He was clean and smart
A thought passed through my mind
They are not the same
But it was just Adam with a different pigment
One clever day l dumped him also
Within a week was another Adam
He was tall and hip-hop fresh
He was kind and had a dream
Wasn’t l attracted?
Until one foolish day
My eyes fooled me
I thought he was different
But it was just Adam with a different height
I dug a pit and sow to myself
I will never in a million times be fooled
Didn’t my heart betray me?
Didn’t my heart make a full of me
Didn’t my heart pain me again?
Didn’t my heart fall in the ocean?
Just like that other Adam
Adam hurt me again...
Adam lied to me
Adam broke my heart again
Adam did it again
It’s always the same Adam.
