Barati Lesetlhe Poems

Our faithful friend
Our closest friend
in space
...

In 1976
In Soweto
The time was 7 o'clock
It was 16th of June
...

Whoo hoo hoo hoo
Who is that?
Is the hunter

Whoo hoo hoo hoo
...

So frail
Slowly you move
Behind you leave no trail
...

i like you
I like that small head with large dark eyes
And large round ears
I like you
...

Gone with the wind
But not out of my mind

Gone are the days
...

Frightened
Frightened to death
Frightened of death
...

There was a man called Good
They said he was not good
So they told him to go for good
So i wonder it it was good
...

Lies are like venom
Where lies lays lays the Demon
Lies are like lice
Where lies lays lays danger
...

Tick tock
Tick tock
It's time to woke up
The sun is up
...
