I'm a jigsaw puzzle, not a piece in a puzzle

I’m not only a political puzzle piece. I’m a human jigsaw that used to-

-write poetry, short stories and movie reviews. I read fiction like Clive Barker, Cormac McCarthy, Stephen King, Dan Simmons, Orson Scott Card, Terry Pratchett and Tom Clancy.

I listened to Marilyn Manson, Pink Floyd, Slipknot, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, My Morning Jacket, Queen, Pixies, Editors, Radiohead etc. I failed as an underground music activist but made rock compilations and did shows with cool bands and artists such as Shomon, Sitter, Saturnine, Deity’s Muse and Grynd Rodd Muse.

I loved women up until 2009, then got lost in movies, crushing on heroines.

I loved the town of Knysna where it was joy to help children who hadn’t had the same opportunities as me. I enjoyed nature walks, the sound of water, the smell of the sea, dawn, dusk and toddlers laughing.

I loved too much until only a mouthful of my heart was left for me to chew.

This is a place for ghosts…

I'm a South African anti-corruption activist, damaged by intimidation and SLAPP. Positive rulings by Parliament and the Public Protector have meant nothing. Crooked politicians are promoted whilst I await imprisonment.
