To My Grandmother(26 / 09 / 2011 / 06h02) . Poem by Koena Mokoena

I want to thank my grandmother, for her support. /
Because she raised me to be a man, /
if it wasn't for her i wouldn't be a rapper, poet,
entrepreneur & community development worker. /
Hence, she is my heroine & this should be celebrated on a daily basis. /

What i like about her is everyday she makes it a point that i eat, breakfast, lunch & dinner, /
in order to achieve a better health. /
The fact is i am grateful for her mercy, like my grandmother,
even though sometimes i eat with an empty stomach, /
but she makes it a point it doesn't happen on a daily basis. /

If it wasn't for her i would have been a gangster, /
because in my real home they hate me. /
Hence, i want to thank her for raising me up... /
