Mazwi Sedibe Poems

Desires had my mind running wild,
So I tamed it with the harsh whip reality.
Had my head high over the hills with fantasy,
Then I brought it down the valley
...

When my shoulders were hanging low.
My head steady facing toe.
Pocketed hands collected in my nude.
All forces pulling down,
...

San-ko-fa my son
For you strive for an economic future
That will never belong to you,
You are to reverse in a quest to reveal
...

Sink pain never be seen again
Sink into the deep dark waters of the oceans.
May the greedy piranhas of the oceans
Destroy you whilst drowning down.
...

A safe penetration without full concentration
Is a complete unsafe construction.
Disbelief and disappointment be the repercussions.
Guilt and regret be the ultimate emotions.
...

Eye to eye
we didn't see.
Hand in hand
we couldn't walk.
...

I lived a life of a snide.
Always in a mission to spite.
Despite the fact that I like to fight.
I was cruel by night.
...

Stench is our pride.
Always Misleading
Like a smile of uncertain bride.
From a womb we all
...

The day dawns with you
In mind, and dusk leaves with a memory of you
Captured in the last twilight of the year
With the first rain drop of the year
...

Over the fantasy hills
Down the hurting sorrow pits
Fro and to
There and back
...
