ke ibingumama wam kunye nomntakwethu omdala
bekhwaza omnye lo ngumhla
wokuzalwa kukadade wethu undwendwe lwethu
usuku lokuzalwa kwakhe kule mpelaveki kwaye
ndicinga ukuba kufanele ukuba
siyokutya kwakamsinya kwaye bagqibile
ukukhwaza omnye nomnye kwaye ndiyazisokolisa
ngokuthetha siphantsi kakhulu kumama
ngathi ebekhona kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo evuma
ukundibetha phambi kwakhe
ngokwasemzimbeni endibetha phantsi phambi
kwakhe bobabini banogonyamelo kwaye
bayabazonda abantu abarhuqayo kunye nokuzilungisa kwaye
zilungile kubundlobongela kwaye zixolelwe ubundlobongela kwaye
zikholelwa ekubethweni kwendoda
eyirhuqayo okanye nabani na otshintshayo ngenene
nabani otshintshayo bamthiyile ngenxa
yezizathu zonqulo okanye izizathu nje zobuhlanga
kwinkani jikelele yokuqaqadeka
kweenkani ezindala iindlela zokucinga zijongeka kwi
-ego yabo kunye nokuzingca ngayo nantoni na enye into
ke leyo yayiyividiyo yanamhlanje yokungena
malunga nobundlobongela kule ndlu kule
minyaka mihlanu
idlulileyo, ubhuti wam omdala ekhwaza
umfazi onesiqingatha sobukhulu bakhe phantse isiqingatha
sobungakanani bakhe ekhala Iintsuku zakhe phantse iminyaka engama-
40 ubudala uphantse wamkhalela nge-40 emva
koko wamngxolisa kwaye uyakhalaza
enyanisweni ndicinga ukuba
baneempawu zobuntu
ezifanayo ngabantu abanetyhefu kakhulu abakhuliswe yityhefu
yobudoda abaziphetheyo
ngabantu bakhathalele nantoni na ngaphandle kwe
-egos yabo
