Mbalentle Mdange Poems

With their little stunts and chants,
You call them heroes
Peace in our land, they advocate
Oh, you give them Nobel Peace Prizes
...

Le ha nka bua lipuo tsa batho le tsa mangeloi
Uthando ke ndingenalo andinto yanto

Thando uyini na kanti
...

Like the sweet scent of a Damask Rose,
So is the love of Adonai
Deeper than the Mariana Trench,
So is His mercy
...

If Your will was South I'd be North
Even the most drastic U-turn would not lead me back to it
If it was Cape then I'd be standing in Cairo
Not even Tour de'Afrique would race me back to it
