You Are Not Safe Where I Am Not Invited Poem by Pheko Motaung

Over there I am
Declared persona non grata
That one wants to lure you
To his lair where danger lurks
Him over there will make you
Unawares a murdering assassinating
Blood dripping cult member
Beware him in that lurid political
House he has the look of one
Who wants to turn you into his
For hire spying femme fatale
Honey pie you are not safe where
I am not invited
Let me tell you to use the wisdom
Of the brothers Solomon and Barnabas
Three men with vicious visions
For money and power want
To lift you off of me and that
Makes me hot under the collar
The jabbering one wants you to be
His drug mule and he will leave you
Alone when you get arrested by the
Guards at the airport of the alien
Country.And that's a fate worse
To suffer than to go hungry
Under the agony my control
You bring your own measly meal
You suffer the beatings every day
They put a bullet at the back of
Your skull when they find you
Guilty after you have suffered years
On detention without trial in a
Lice infested foreign jail
My girl.The man with the priestly
Countenance is the devil incarnate
He will take you to the mafia of
The religious sects where the modern
Day Judases gather
He steal the souls of unsuspecting
Pretty girls like you
Your spirit of adventure will end
Brutally when they're proved to be
Liars who predict the end of the world
It is unsafe for you who is so young
To venture into the house of bare
Knuckle political infighting
And you being so young
He looks like a father figure father
Of the nation president
Actually he is a mamba in disguise
Beware him then for he will transform
Into his Mata Hari spying plaything
And when you're unmasked he will
Declare solemnly that he doesn't know you
So you see sweet darling
It is not safe to set foot where
I am said to be an extinct species
One wants you to peddle drugs for him
The other wants to make you a bill board
For the advertisement of Jesus
The other wants you to be lynched
By his political opponents
Only one who is your hated protector
Who eats by himself in his confined
Corner truly loves you with your personal
Safety uppermost in his heart


Guess me in among
Your legion of ardent admirers
