The love of riches will catch up with us

EVERY day, we are bombarded with stories of death, suffering and betrayal that consistently engulf our country.

In the middle of all these stories, there is money. We live in a stereotyped society where the love of money reigns supreme. Truth is, a person’s wicked ambition will cast a false fantasy before his eyes.

People are blinded by the clouds of greed to such an extent that they have become enemies unto themselves.

Everyday we read about corruption practised by our very own leaders whom we elected with love and trust.

The sanctity of having a marriage based on love has been converted into an opportunistic scheme, where people marry each other for their wealth and properties.

Young boys have resorted to drugs, washing away the tears of their miserable lives that were caused by peer pressure.

Young girls are selling out their virginity to wealthy men who are willing to splash their cash on them,

destroying cess.

Unemployed mothers are watching as their lovers rape their own daughters simply because they are the breadwinners in the household.

The devil’s agents are scattered in every corner, dressed in church uniforms selling prayers and holy water. With the love of money comes the betrayal of friendships and breaking of family bonds.

Carelessly, we have betrayed one another for cents that are pushing us up, high enough to make our fall even harder.

How long before we realise that as long as we make money out of evil deeds, we will forever be in debt in the account of humanity?

Are we morally bankrupt to think we are rich when our money was made out of unholy practices?

At the end of the day, what we do today will definitely catch up with us in the near future. Malphia Honwane

While we make money from evil deeds, we’re in debt to humanity
