MITSHADO BANI LE?
Yini le nje, yini le?
Ngamadlwan’ imtshado yakulez’ insuku.
Batshada lamhlanje, kusasa bayehlukana.
Izolo bekuyingotsha lenswabanda,
Lamhla ngumangoye legundwane.
Babonana lamhlanje kuWhatsapp,
Kusasa nje lokhu sebebizana udali lobhebhi.
Kabazani lokwazana kodwa sokuthenjiswan’ ucansi.
Kujahweni umjah’ ungowamabhiza
Bazane bafundana nini?
Osethe ukugijima yikufika ngubani?
Angithi lozihambelayo pholephole
Uyafika laph’ ayakhona.
Kujahweni kengibuze mahlabezulu?
Thando ban’ olwakhelwa phezu kwesithembiso socansi?
Lulempande yini lolo olwakhelwa phezu kwamanga?
Zikuph’ izalukaz’ ebezikhwaza kudladlazek’ umzimba
OMakhulu abebelaya ngomendo?
Kusatshunyayelwa kukhuthazwa
Ngobuhle bomtshado,
Kambe abafundisi bakhona yib’abangayisibo na?
Yibo asebebhidliza imitshado yabantu na?
Yimbuzo esinduzanayo ekhanda lami leyo.
Ngempela kalusekho olweqiniso uthando.
Olufumanay’ uthol’ igugu lamagugu.
Kalugodle ngezandla zombili lungamphunyuk,
Asal’ ebamb’ insib’ udwayi sephaphile.
Bangena emtshadweni
Bengalungiselelang’ abakulezinsuku.
Kalivez’ iqiniso ubaba kumama
Loba ephethwe yingculaza,
Lomama laye wala embe phansi
Ukuthi ubevele elibele lendlela.
Yibuhlakani kumbe yibuphukuphuku
Uthando luba yisiphofu
Bese belibala ukuhlolwa igazi.
Pho mhla liphumay’ iqiniso
Kosuka kube yini?
Ayisikuthintitheka kwawo umtshado?
Umtshado angithi yikuzichay’ egceken’
Iqiniso libe mgceke.
Pho kuyozalwa nkomoni
Nxa umtshado usakhelwa phezu kwemfihlo ezingak?
Sutshintshile lumhlaba bo,
Ubolil’ impela.
Obekuqakathekile akusaqakathekanga.
Umendo awusaqakathekiswa
Osekumqoka yikuzalisana.
Iqiniso linyamalele
Amanga yimpilo yamihla ngemihla.
Inoth’ iyaphela, lobuhle butshabalale,
Loba kunjalo, ababe nyamanye
Njengokuthembisana kwabo betshada.
Awuthunyelwa gundwane yebo,
Awukho ongathunqi ntuthu.
Khepha,konke lokhu akuwufaki mgoqo umtshado.
Zine eziqakathekileyo izinto emtshadweni:
Ukubekezela, uthando, iqiniso loxolo.
Zozine ziyawumis’ umtshad’ uqond’ uthi nta!
