Poem To Sister Keneilwe Poem by Koketso Nonyane

Smiling, reflecting the warmth of sunshine
Happy to be alive, unconditionally loving yourself
I see you waking each morning with awe of excitement
Motivated by the whispering voices in your head,
Telling you that your dreams are drawing nearer

I see you spitting rejection to the sight of oppression
Inflamming partriacfhy with weapons of destruction
Slowly redefining new peaceful realities for societies
For, you would never allow anyone to infringe your dignity

Cracking mental mirrors which negatively inject your self-image
Wealthy, not vulnerably working for slave-wage
I see in you a bright Africa
I see in you perfection
