I'm A Complete Stranger To All Poem by Thabani Khumalo

The beautiful girls of Mamelodi look at me
and wonder what it is I do -
an ambulant character in the streets of the Ghetto.
I am a complete stranger to all,
the life of polarity is a heavy burden for all -
people devour living people to death,
and it is very scary to watch this horror -
it is called war.

This is too difficult for our people to heal and come back from,
the source of this mental program is manufactured overseas
and we are but ordinary people,
the best we can be are hands of labor.
The girls are part of the problem concerning international entertainment,
because of the way they make malices feel good in life.
Tyrants live good yet honest men are subjected to solitude,
but I am not at all lonely, though alone, in a strange city.

I do a lot of things,
I am out here to make sure that the wish of my father is met.
This is because I carry the name of the clan
that is connected to the world.
My sworn purpose that I made while I was at home:
to reincarnate the greatest shed of mental light.
I will put together the Great Barmby
where every soul will be nourished as glorious as an angel -
a paradise aspired by the paradise of the Lord -
a Dise itself without a fable wonder.
The entire onus of a Higher Civilization is upon my shoulders.
