Coming of Age

_Crying 0ut loud for the voiceless_

It a matter of time...

Zama the most genius and passionate young one she was so beautiful and dedicated she seemed to have a very bright future ahead of her. "growing up from drastic family implications made me realise that you have only yourself to fulfill your heart desires" said Zama.

Made the wonders till grade 12 where she got 6 distinctions and made it to Unirvesity of KwaZulu Natal pusuing her Degree initially every thing went well for Zama and her friends...lucky for her that the least part of the spirit and moral from her is from the friend's side*.

Here is history has no black pages...hear my story.

When we all grow up it a thing for everyone of us that we want to live a life of comfort and luxury and yes that wise enough.and i always believe Education is a better safeguard than standing army just because some bosses their way up.


Important role of Education

To gain respect from the society one should be educated, to live a happy and prosperous life one need to study.

and Education is what we put into action and knowing about the fact of life.

From where i grow up some people says,my knowledge of Education is nonsense others call it lofty but impractical but to those who have looked inside themselves this nonsense makes perfect sense and to those who put into practise this loftiness has roots that go deep *it still remains that Education makes a good dynamic balance

They always says "Good work forever pays"the very Beautiful Zama was recognized where she scored 100% from the practical test, that opens many doors and drawed more attention it was really the start of something good.she was very fond to almost every Lecturer they liked her so much not for only one Mr Nyawo who asked Zama to see him in his office

Midday Zama went to the office thinking it about school work but it tends to be the other way around and very unusual "Zama I've been looking you every single day and you are Amazing...you are one of kind" Zama says it okey and did not see what coming for her

Next day Mr nyawo called in "Wake up sleepy head...i need to take you out for breakfast be ready"

As it goes she woke up and ironed the most beautiful Morden dress and it suited her.

"You look very stunning my love" ohh babe "you look great too,you 're the most handsome guy i've ever met and you smart hubby"

Love is blind they say... her friends tries to warn her that Mr Nyawo is of bad news she replied "People must learn to mind their own staff...no offence but i am enjoying the moments"

Busy with that and denying the fact that Mr Nyawo is really not as good as he tells to people, if i can tell you that the Truth carries so much power and yes, we're terrified...scared of the truth but in our minds we make this thing up,that it would ruin everything when really that's just another lie...The truth carries so much power and it's never wrong, never!

Not for little while Mr Nyawo did it again...and it unlucky for you because he uses that against you every move you take from his Module throws you down and for good because he's connected so you can't do anything except taking his orders..All hell broke loose between Zama and His Lecturer right in times of test week.

All her modules were Outstanding except for that of Mr Nyawo pity that was a Major subject...Zama suffers for almost 2years being his sex machine just because she won't afford to fail and dragged out of the institution

The tension between the two continues until Zama got pregnant,the academic results came negative...Monday monday," baby i did Pregnancy test and it came positive " yooo sorry darlings that's not my problem and please don't ever come back here not for only Zama we have many facing this daily others threaten to be killed while others are under unstable mental condition

Let make sure that no one of us is running circles in the mist... Talk the world will Listen it a human right for every one us to leave our homes and return safe,let's fight with parasites trying to misuse power over education

Women are tired souls they are going trough hell and back on their own,life is really showing flames

They are all desperate one can say and no one is rescuing.80% of women's are manipulated every single day,if not in drugs it alcohol and some go through GbV.

And we are unlucky because boys of our age are reckless and full lies all they know is just fame and showing off

Here Another one doing his matric playing around- "Doing Matric brings a lot of unncessary pressure and stress so one need to de-stress...Sya invited his Okuhle to come spend the night,it was friday after writting their last exam paper.Sya started smoking and drinking

Sya setted and filled the table with every kind of beer and cigars it was more like a Celebration or pens down sort ...they had fun all went well until Sya overdosed and he was too drunk here comes Amahle very drunk they had sex unprotected under the influence of alcohol once more when Amahle falls pregnant Sya said" i did not sleep with anyone and i have no child you are too ugly to Carry my child"

As all happens and happened let's it from happening we are young and beautiful none of us deserves what's happening now....i swear we 're being punished for the sins that we can't even remember but as it goes,Let's Spread Shout out you will heard*

We ere here making memory into memories, ideas into essays ,life into literature and Education into light....we all have bright future ahead of us and very successful i am adamant that the world somehow will change


To be continued....
