WHO AM I ?

Always remember me as you learn what I am capable of doing.

I maim without killing
I break hearts and ruin lives
I am crafty and malicious.
With age, I gather strength.
Becoming more destructive and in every habitation

The more you quote me, the more I am believe and trusted
I prosper in all sorts of societies and lives
Most of my victims are powerless
They can’t defend themselves against me
Because they can’t easily identify who I am.

Tracking me down is a painstaking task.
The more you try to identify me, the more misleading
and mysterious I turned out to be
I am nobody and therefore nobody’s friend
You hardly recover your reputation once I have tarnished it
You would never be the same again.

I wreck families, friendship, other relationship and marriages
I topple governments and politicians and create an environment of-
mistrust and misunderstanding.
Innocent people always cry because of me
However defensive the emotion seems to be, I can easily penetrate it
Who am I, do you know me or my name by now?
What do you think abut me? Now that you knew what I do,
it is important that you know my name
Do so to protect yourself against me.

Mr. GOSSIP that’s my name.

MY IDENTITY!!!

Who do you think I am?
Tell me if you know.
Ask my parents. They knew who I am …
I am their most precious gift (child)

For the ordinary man and woman, am nothing but a
Human like themselves
My colleagues around me, I am a young adult,
and a great friend to them and to you

A useful asset to my family, relatives and a timely
gift to the communities I finds myself.
to my teachers, a well behaved, matured, sensible
hardworking, helpful, honest and a respectful pupil

to God my creator, I am one of his most wonderful piece of creation.
His image.

Am your friend. A lover of unity, peace and love.
An enemy of nobody but, myself.
You still don’t know me.
Do you?
I am simply a Black and Humble African.
An African who dare not troubles no one.
