to a weeping mother
i weep with a burden that weighs down my soul
for with me lays a debt i cannot pay
i owe to you my life in its whole
for without you i wouldnt see but one day
my life, dear sweet life in itself
was given to me by your sacrifice and pain
now all i can do is pray to myself
that my love to you stays open and plain
my wisdom, my words, my every breath
reminds me of the days when we were still young
but now im filled with this feeling of death
as if all life was over, the song has been sung.
do not weep as i do when i think of your name
do not shelter your heart and keep love at its door
was it not you that tought me this game?
tought me the rules and left me begging for more?
you are an alter i turn to for strength
do not shake when i need you
stretch like the mountians, and stand at full length
reach out to those seeking whats true
wipe all tears from your eyes and take a deep breath
for even you, dear mother, can escape death!
ulikhumbule elabadala ilizwi (inyathi ibuzwa..)
ithi wena ndikungcazele
Ima kakuhle ungangcangcazeli
Mamela ke ndikuchazele
Ubomi obu bobakho ungabek’ithemba kotshomi
UQamatha ukuthanda ngok’ungumoni
Sukuzisola ngobukoli boyihlo
Lento isuka le emva emandulo
Seyombethe umzontsundu ngathi yingulo
Bagqejwa elingophiyo ngamaBhulu
Baphucwa ubuntu, bathathelwa ubuzwe
Sohlulwa-hlulwa isizwe sabazintlanga zohlukene
Ilizwe labakulenkenkene
Abazingxwelerha amadoda akhethubumenemene
Injongo ikukuziphilisa kulentlalo yasemzantsi yombhethwe ngumkhuba ombi wokuzonwabisa ngokuthengisana
Bashiywa oyihlomkhulu be ze
Boxuthwa nobudoda emva koko bandlandlathekiswa benyuswa besehliswa
Betsalwa ngempumlo kungekho luphumlo.
Aphumi phulo amasinamva az’bhalelumculo
Azange bayibon’eny’ indlela yokuziphilisa,
balahlekelwa yintlonipho yeziqu zabo
Abantwana bavukelwa yindelelo
Abafazi balingana namadoda,
avumeleka amadoda azekane odwa
Xa ubuza unobangela bath’abaziyo zizinto zesizwe somgcamabala.
Amadoda awanabinamaphupha
Abhubha ephila, esenziwa izithunzela yinzala nabafazi awo
Evathezimhlophe zogqirha bengamagqirha okanyamagqwirha bongamele ndawo yonke nasengqurha,
Sishiyeka sinesingqurhu sichithachithe namaqumrhu
Ngenxa yenqubo nofunukuzivelela inkalo zonke zabahlali basemzantsi
Indlala isongamele, ubuhlanga busibulele
Xa ndibona wena useze ngobuso elizweni ndibanekhwele
Ndakucingubunzulu bemilambho omele uyiwele
Usihlusenyuka uvumbhulula igolide
Icebo linye lam kuwe
Into oqinisekileyo ukuba asiyiyo uzungayivumeli futhi lonto uyimele
Uqinise izigalo ungabethwa luvalo
Ingabibhetyebhetye ingalo yakho, ize iqine okweyemfene
Ubulumkele ububele, ngoba bunentsontela
Andazinto, andizinanto ndingalinto andinanto intsha engaziwayo
Sondeza le yakho inqawa ndikuvuthisele
Zininzi into onokuzifunda kwimpazamo zabakhuluwa
Vulindlebe uvulamehlo ubambihlelo
Ugcin’umthetho othi hlonipha unyoko noyihlo
Phakamuzenzele uzokwaz;ukonwabelu bomi
Ubuze xa ungaqondi, ungalahlekiswa bubutshomi
Xa uthe wawa uphakame ungabinantloni
Noba bakubiza ngantoni uzungagobi ungahexi
Uhlale ulindile njenge ntombi eza zizingqondi
Uphumegusheni okwembhongi xa into ungayiboni ngaso lihle
Ukhumbule ukuba ndiselapha ecaleni kwakho xa kunzima buzathina mhlawumbi singacebisa,
Ulikhumbule elabadala, ngoba nyani inyathi ibuzwa……..

being a father
when problems impose
that is when he is so much older than me
but how he becomes my age
when i need to be understood…
when im raging and need an enemy to vent…
and when i'm down and in need of a friend
but when later comes
and my sight is back
he is so much older…
so much wiser…
and so much stronger…
he conforms to the world
when protecting his son
becoming a giant among men,
a storm among winds…
an inferno among flames
he becomes what i want
and also what i dont'
to become the one
to guard his son
