Bathokozile Hadebe Poems

Awu, mntanomuntu
bayazala
abanye omama
ntombikayise
...

Who was i
bengiyini mina?
Bengingubani?
Bengizitshela ukuthi
...

Awu! Kodwa mntakwethu, sthandwa somphefumulo
ngikuthanda njenge
mbhali yasehlobo
eqakazile
...

What do i wanna be
In life?
i wanna be
a thief
...

Sengihambe
amazwe
ngamazwe
izitaba nezintabakazi
...

When i first met you
i was speechless, surprice
when i started to
know you
...

Ngiyalukhalela
olwami
uthando
ukube ngangazi
...

Waye ngasabhekeki
kungenxa yami
nawe
washaywa, elinywa
...
