Oh, dear old poet!
Your words make sense to me now,
Five years after you are dead and gone; lying in your grave quiet.
...
On the 21st of June,
1989 was the year...
This young fellow bellowed,
On a biting cold morning when birds were too cold to sing,
...
Like a jungle untamed,
Wisdom untapped,
The holy garden of Eden unveiled.
We are never certain,
...
One little step after another,
I humbly bow my head low,
In submission,
In utter respect,
...
Don’t follow that star you always show me at night,
All that glitters is not gold, be careful,
It dwells in dark lands strange unto men
...
When you speak you sing life from deep within your soul and it’s quite clear when you smile in the mirror the world smiles back at you!
Inside, you are still the same kid Playing childish games Together with others On the runway
Under the full virgin moon Chasing butterflies with childish endurance Delirious, lost in fantasy! Like the blind man on his walking sticks
So don’t cry The day you realize, that l meant happiness in your life
...
What I feel is deep and wide...
like I can never reach its depth...
Someone told me it's rich and wise...
i can only picture her in white!
...
I can't be your lover,
Because I can't love you,
Without hurting you.
...
Unfortunately we will not retire,
Across Afrika, we continue to inspire,
With this African trophy,
Our national achievement;
