Moto/Fire Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

Moto/Fire

Tumezaliwa na makaa ya kung'aa ndani yetu.
(We are born with glowing coals within us.)
Burning ever so slowly.
We learn to fan them the moment we take to dreaming.
Mimi ni maji ya moto haiwezi kuua.
(I'm a fire water can't kill.)
I will burn until I decide to stop.
