WE MADE IT(A POEM WRITTEN BY MKHWANANZI MTHANDAZO)


WE MADE IT MY DEAR FRIENDS
...

If I die today.
Just put my body on a bed to lay.
Neither weep nor cry for me in vain.
Do not sorrow nor be in pain.
...

A gentle soul, a loving heart,
My mother, a work of art.
With kindness, care, and devotion true,
She guides me through all I do.
...

My soul, a dying ember,
Fading fast, with each passing December.
Once ablaze, with passion and fire,
Now reduced to ash, my heart's desire.
...

Beware youths, listen to the warning call,
You're speeding down the highway, to a fatal fall,
The road is paved with temptation, and destruction's near,
Don't let the devil's whispers, lead you to the precipice, my dear.
...

As I sit and ponder, on the love we share,
I'm filled with pride and joy, beyond compare.
You're a shining star, that lights up the night,
A precious gift, that fills my heart with delight.
...

I grind and I hustle, day and night,
To create a better life, a brighter light,
For you, my son, and your mother too,
And your sisters, who deserve all the best, it's true.
...

A good girl gone bad, with a heart that's turned cold,
A soul that's lost its way, with a spirit that's grown old.
She once was pure and sweet, with a smile that could light,
But now she's tainted, with a darkness that's taken flight.
...

A father's absence, a childhood pain,
A wound that's deep, a scar that remains.
You left when I was young, a toddler's age,
A separation that lasted, until your final stage.
...

Who is loving you, now that I'm gone?
Is it someone new, or just a temporary song?
Do they hold your hand, and whisper in your ear?
Do they make you laugh, and wipe away your tears?
...
