Le Ndaba Yemibala Poem by Hebert Logerie

Le ndaba yemibala iyangicasula
Le ndaba engcolile ingenza ngibe nemfiva
Le ndaba yobuhlanga iyangikhathaza
Le ndaba edabukisayo igcwele ikhanda lami
Ngolunye usuku, ngizobe ngibambe inganono egcwele amanzi
Ukufafaza abezinhlanga abaminza ngokungazi
Nkulunkulu wami, banjani ubuqili nobuwula babo
Isintu sidinga ukuthula nokubekezelelana.

Le ndaba yemibala inginikeza ikhanda
Le ndaba engcolile iyangixaka
Le ndaba yomjaho ingijaha kabi
Le ndaba edabukisayo iyangihlikihla futhi ingigwinye
UNkulunkulu wadala owesilisa nowesifazane ukuba bathembeke futhi bajabule
UNkulunkulu akazange adale izihloko eziningi nezinto zokuhlanza
Ngiyagula ngayo yonke le nkulumo engelona iqiniso nelimbi
Isintu somele uthando, umusa nokuthula.

Isintu sintu sihle, sihle futhi sinemibala efana nothingo
Njengodaka, njengezimayini zegolide, amadayimane, nokunye okuyigugu
Amaminerali ase-Afrika, lapho imvunulo ihlotshiswe ngamapharele
Ngikhungathekile ngembeciles ezingenayo inhliziyo noma inyongo.
