POETRY: AMAGWALA

January 31, 2023

Iyhoo, ndiyindindi

Tshooo, yingxubakaxaka

Kanti yintoni igwala?

Kanti anje amagwala?

Nqandan’amagwala.

Ubugwala sisifo esibi

Lento umntu ngathi akazi

Lento umntu ngathi akafuni

Lento umntu ngathi akanakho

Kanti uyaxoka

Ubugwala ngumbulalazwe

Lakhula inani lobulawa

Lenyuka nelodlwengulo

Kwanda norhwaphilizo ezweni

Zaphinda phinda izijwili esizweni

Aphi amadoda okwenyani?

Baphi abafazi boqobo?

Siqhayise ngonyana bethu?

Sizidle ngentombi zethu?

Hayini magwala

Kodwa magwala niyakhohlisa

Niyatyhafisa nangoku

Niyasihlazisa isizwe

Kutheni ningadani nje?

Zifuneni, guqukani nizohlwaye

Anifuni kwenza

Kodwa niyonzakalisa

Anithethi

Kodwa bayaphela abantu

Magwala ndini mxim.

Ubhalwe: Mbulelo Tshofela
