Umuzi omnyama

Umuzi omnyama 2004 (Johannesburg)



Sengayamukela eyami I nhlanhla
Ukuthi akekho oyonginika ithuba engabhekile ibala.
Engathi inkosi ingakhanyisa amaqhawe ethu engafeli ubala.
Cha impela umhlaba uyashabalala.
Kulohulumeni osithengisela amaphupho ajike asivalele iscabha.
Kazi iyozala nkomoni ikusasa impicabadala kujabula abalibonayo.
Saphela Isizwe esimnyama
Sivinjwe iydakamizwa namanzi ampojwana.
Ukukhanya isiqalekiso semiphumela yokwenziwa ebumnyameni
Esokusebenza isidingo asikho engani uhulumeni uyongikholela .
Ngi lahle awami amaphupho ngijimise Inkeca nokulwisa inhlupheko.
Cha ekazi uwakuphi lomkhokha ofumbethe isizwe esinsundu.
Uthando lwangempela lwaphela nokhokho olwamanje  lugcwele Inkohliso ligijimise okuse phokothweni.
Angisayiphathi eyenhlonipho ihamba nesikhundla ongalutho uyoyiswela
Umthandazo uwusayilutho engani sikhonza masihlupheka
Siqhuba inkohlakalo sthembele ukucela ushwele inkosi isthethelele.
Kulomhlaba esphila kuwo ukufa sekwaphenduka I njwayelo.
Intsha igcwele amanxeba ukuchithwa kwegazi ukunqanda inhlupheko.
 Omama balila esikanandi ukudlwengulwa kwabesmame.
Engathi inkosi ingasixolela impela isikwazi eskwenzayo.
Siphoqwa yisimo yingakho unembeza singenawo.
Lena impica badala ifuna umhlaba siwuvale
Encono konke kubuyele kumdalali
Ngibhala lenkondlo nje angazi ngithembini akuncono ngiy'vale
Eyam indima ngyiyayi phetha konke sekusele nomdali.
