Sir,

We have parasites in communitie­s and we have role models whom we admire without knowing that they are parasites. Some individual­s get into their golden age without having done much; you sometimes try to be friends with them only for them to make you their slave.

You toil and save, but they easily steal from you because they are concerned about your possession­s. They believe people’s properties are their inheritanc­e which they can share with their children.

The parasites cannot paddle the canoes of their own lives, but they survive on other people’s toil.

These parasites have hearts of stone and are merciless. They are not content even if they have accumulate­d many things, including wealth. Dreams are shuttered and children orphaned because of them.

Widows are left engulfed in sorrow and their victims’ desires are shuttered as a result of these parasites being selfish. I then wonder when these parasites will stop doing what they do as it hurts a lot of people.

My heart strongly bleeds and sometimes loses a beat because of this diabolic behavior of people who are content with destroying other people’s future. People are suffering out there

because of them.

However, the beautiful sky plays a big role in making us hope for a much better future. Broad daylight comes with stunning sunlight, even if it is wrapped by clouds. A big thank you to the stars and moon for they always fight the darkness all night until morning comes. And with mornings comes a good breeze to shower our brains in such a way that we become stress-free. When we wake up, the body becomes light and with lucid new desires for the day.

Life is too short for everyone, but very crucial for parasites for they depend on it for their lives. But thank you for the days that give us hope for a parasite-free future.

Sihle Prince Mkhonta
