Kuyoze Kubenini Poem by KwaNdebele Science School

Kuyoze kubenini siphilisana ngamanga?
Sivuswa ziindaba ezidanisako mihlangamalanga.
Sithi lithando kanye ne thabo
Kodwa lelothabo ngelokududuzwa ngamanga.
Emaswapheleni athi sengiyakhamba,
Ngidiniwe ukuphila ipilo yamanga.

Kuyoze kubenini siphilisana ngamanga?
Uthe uyamthanda kodwana,
Sowumbethela ukumbulala.
Uzizwa njani uma ukhwela embedeni ulsle?
Usufumane indoda iphethe amaththuumbo,
Itjhinga ngemazindleni, Uze ithi,
'Mkami ngilibalela ngiyendze iphoso,
Lokhu engakwendzako bekungasiyihloso.'
Utjho njalo ngiba umoyakhe ulele ngoxolo.

Ziintjijilo zepilo ezingindza ngiragele phambili
Ngokwazi bona ongabonwako uhlale
Anami kungipha amandla wokungalili.
Kuyoze kubenini siphilisana ngamanga?
