Mbalentle Mdange Poems
With their little stunts and chants,
You call them heroes
Peace in our land, they advocate
Oh, you give them Nobel Peace Prizes
...
Le ha nka bua lipuo tsa batho le tsa mangeloi
Uthando ke ndingenalo andinto yanto
Thando uyini na kanti
...
Like the sweet scent of a Damask Rose,
So is the love of Adonai
Deeper than the Mariana Trench,
So is His mercy
...
If Your will was South I'd be North
Even the most drastic U-turn would not lead me back to it
If it was Cape then I'd be standing in Cairo
Not even Tour de'Afrique would race me back to it
...
The Best Poem Of Mbalentle Mdange
I Am Not Recognised
With their little stunts and chants,
You call them heroes
Peace in our land, they advocate
Oh, you give them Nobel Peace Prizes
But I, I died for peace
Yet I am not recognised
Red and white
Candle-lit dinners and wine
Rose petals from the doorway
You celebrate Saint Valentine
(How romantic!)
But I, I died for love
Yet I am not recognised
The best years in Medical school
Private practices with successful operations
Correct dosages and prescriptions
Oh, in your eyes, they are the best doctors in town
But I, I died for your healing
Yet I am not recognised
They tell you happiness is a four-letter word
But I have news for you
Happiness is a five-letter word
J.E.S.U.S.
You know I, I died for your happiness
Yet I am not recognised
But father, forgive them; for they know not what they do
