Anele Potelwa (Unpublished) Poems

We All Want To Be Man,
But I Want To Be A Better Man
We All Want To Be Husbands,
But I Want To Be A Better Husband
...

You are a soul
a love endless to those who love
a heart unbreakable to those shine,
those who glide and gloom,
...

I mourn
The fake death of the world
Whose humans are too blind to hear
Whose humans are too deaf to see
...

By all means i never wanted to live with humans,
my humanity was a fund not offered to women,
that man were my greatest enemies,
who am I whth such weaknesses?
...

I am Africa
I am the mother
I am Africa
A father to mothers
...

by all the good
you throw at him
he grows at a pace
...

Cohesion with no vision
As we went on to fool ourselves
We lay upon the eyes of enemies
Feeding each one with fantasy
...

I do not have money
But its funny that I have all the heart
I don't have as much friends to laugh with
But I am sure we can have our own crazy moments
...

Old as I am
the feeling attacks,
Strangles my heart and
jails the beloved mind
...

It were as if a storm
had blown away all the happiness,
killings every night
Screaming young kids
...
