IF I WERE THE DEVIL






IF I WERE THE DEVIL


Stes de Necker



I was sitting at my desk contemplating the sosio-economic complexities of this country, when a strange thought entered my mind.

If I were the Devil in South Africa in the 21st century, and I wanted South Africa as my exclusive domain, how will I go about making the whole of South Africa my personal property?

Of course I wouldn't be happy until I have seized the ripest apple on the tree!

So what will it take to make South Africa exclusive Devil's territory?

Being the Devil I would obviously start with religion first.

I would whisper to everyone, as I have whispered to Eve, go on - do as you please.  I would convince everyone that the Bible is a myth, that man created God and not the other way round, and I will teach  everyone that what’s good is bad and that being pure and having moral standards is ‘square’.

I will teach everyone to pray: ‘Our father who are in Parliament .....”

I will use children to organize demonstrations and burn down schools to make the news more interesting and exciting and will have youth leaders elected as members of Parliament who can incite violence and  anarchy in order to make everything else look dull and uninteresting to the youth of this country.

I will flood the TV with dirty movies and pornography and peddle drugs to everyone who is willing to pay for it. 

I will sell alcohol to everyone regardless of age and I will tranquilize the rest of the population with pills and drugs.

If I were the devil I‘ll  soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves and nations at war with themselves, until each one of them have been consumed by greed and hatred. And with promises of higher ratings I can bribe the media to fuel the flames of hate and conflict.

If I were the devil I would encourage schools to abolish discipline and let everyone run wild as he/she please, because it’s their basic human right. And before you know it I will have metal detectors and drug sniffing dogs at every school.

I will have prisons overflowing with inmates and I will have judges peddling drugs and pornography. 

And soon I will have God evicted from the courthouse, and then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Parliament. 

In the churches I would substitute psychology for religion, I would teach teachers how to abuse children to satisfy their personal lust, and I would teach priests to embezzle church money. 

I will make a marijuana leave the symbol of Easter and a popping champagne bottle the symbol for Christmas.  

I would take from those who have and give to those who want for themselves, until I have killed all incentives to be ambitious and educated. 

I will get all the Provinces to promote gambling as a way to get rich fast and I will caution everyone against people who still go to church, people of different color, people with moral standards and patriotism. 
   
I will convince the young that marriage is old fashioned and  that swinging is much more fun, and that what you see on TV is the way to be.

Because I can undress you in public and I could lure you into bed with deceases for which there are no cure.



So if I were the Devil I would pretty much just keep doing what I've been doing all the time!
