Mlungisi Radebe is a poet, novelist and freelance editor who draws inspiration from streams of nostalgia. He is a painter who paints with colours most people never knew even existed. His poetry is often traditional, and borders mainly on love, captivating hope, life and death and atheism; iconoclastic in most. He is from South Africa, Durban. He's performed all over the world, instilling the seed of poetry through spoken word and poetry readings. He's won a lot of poetry slams, and gained fans who've given him the sobriquet 'smooth-as-silk-poet'.
We exist on the lap of His grace,
Serenading pulchritudinous songs
That we chant when woe shows his face.
The din of idiocy glimmers and gongs
...
Can anyone leave Paradise if so
They choose, or if weary they have grown
Of seeing celestial beings with snow-
Coloured wings that we are always shown
...
