Lakhal'Ibhungane Bekhona Poem by Anele Potelwa (Unpublished)

Ladud'idabi likamaDeyi
ndengendeng'ukudel'ibudenge kwizidenge
zadudum'izithuko zamadela mbeko
yangumdudo waded'umlisela kwatshotsh'umtshinjana
Gxebe! Dex'umtinjana!

Ubona nje asilokhaya yijentesi
kub'uthando luxhatshwe libhubesi
akukho bakhuluwa ngontanga ntakasemagezeni
ngqond'intekenteke bhexe! kexe!

Sukubon'ezongwevu ziphawul'ubuzaza
akhuz'amaxhewukazi 'kwathini kwelikhaya? '
ewe kaloku bona ngabegazi lisazi
ngob'abantwana baqhathwa kwazizo izazi
kwazengezeng'ubuhlanti zazunguz'izihendo

yazinkumbi zinqunquth'isikhwebu
ewe isengulomzi kabawo lona
Ngezontsuk'indwendwe zazingasezwa manqathe kuzizihlunu
kodwa namhla lithambo lishiyeke nomongo
kungamankazan'ejingis'amaqatha

Yangumgad'ezinjeni
zaluthwal'uxanduv'izizalwane
zingonanga kodwa lisindw'igxalaba
ilusizi kubo yeka nokuxhalaba
namhla abekhw'abazali
kaze nobhekaphi na?
