African Spirituality
Is not about philosophy
But we as Africans
Have to believe
...
I saw a Black Child
Who's got blood in eyes
Cracked as clay
And scaled like a fish
...
Anyone can be a philosopher of
Mother City.
Where under the well known landmark
There is lovely buildings graced skyline.
...
Every time I walk through the street
Everyone shouts the name “Gcobani”, but
Everyday I always ask myself that do
I follow the true meaning of my name
...
How wonderful 2 finally have u.4 so long I have searched, looking 4 the special 1 2 share my life with, Some1 who would accept and love me as I am, And yet provide the freedom nd encouragement 4 me 2 outgrow my self-limitations.
Finally, I stopped searching and began 2 accept that my life might be complete without having someone 2 share. Then one day I discovered u!
I began 2 form a language of friendship, a basis 4 the love we were now ready 2 share. Words gained new meaning as the language of our love involved and we became more sure of ourselves in this new exciting adventure…
Our admiration grew nurtured by time and love began 2 blossom zero from a need, but from a desire 2 be together.

On earth I might be left
With thounds of queens
Hundrens of single ladies
And virgins behind that number
...
You are bright as sun during the day
You are majestic as stars during the night
You are beautiful as a rising sun
Your colour is as darker as sunset
...
My Heritage
African Spirituality
Is not about philosophy
But we as Africans
Have to believe
In Ancestral Spirits
Xhosa's will never abandon;
[Ulwaluko] Custom of circumcision,
[Imbeleko] Ceremony of initiation into life,
[Umdudo] Ceremony of initiation into marriage.
So every nation has to practice
It's heritage with respect
But mark my words;
Once you reject your rite relatives,
Twice you neglect your traditional ceremonies.
The wrath of ancestors
Will bring down retribution
Upon you, your home and family
So heritage is the route
To your future
Heritage are the keys
That you must embrace for your future
