in our imaginary stories, with our imaginative languages
we see different worlds.
we live our own different lives
we survive by our own different images
in our own different minds, we see different views.
you see total different styles, you view total different phases
you sing total different songs and lyrics
we read different stanzas of our own poetry
in our own different minds, different lives...
be free at heart
be free and fearless, be free and kindred spirited
free and light hearted.
take light on living
living will be lighter on you
free and fearless
allow yourself the luxury of hope and hoping
it is all we have got
we break down completely, with hope gone
be free and fearless
do not shy away, breakthrough that thicket
earn your place, and own some ground
extract the most hidden secrets
extract the most intimate scents of your secrets
explore them, feel them, and live them
be free at heart.

wth my lamplight
by the anthill
i am like one-egged twins, inseparable
with my lamplight i see the anteater
in the moonlight
i gather berries on the hill
sometimes, on the edge of the pond
white ducks waddle towards me
in the moonlight
with my lamplight
you see dimpled cheeks
i am like one-egged twins,inseparable
with my lamplight, i see my shadow
she has the song in her mind still
the song is her life
her wholesome life is in the song
you see the lyrics in her eyes
pina ya botshelo jwa gagwe e matlhong
look at her eyes
sparkling jewel-like eyes
sing the lyrics
listen to her baby-soft-like voice
flow with the rhythm
and dance to the tune
pina ya botshelo jwa gagwe e matlhong

by the fires
settling here from wayback afar,setting up living from times of york
these are the people, our forefathers.
foretelling the future, making history, the past as per generation.
our past propel us into twenty sixteen
and our culture define us
as we are here now, by the fires.
reliving the past as per told by forefathers
retelling the past as per lived per taught by forefathers
in such a rythm, as such tales and stories handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation
as we are here now, by the fires.
history in making, every minute.
every people make history, their own in their own type in their own time
by their own way...
as we are here now, by the fires
he is making his own, it will be told and retold in the time
when he will not be,when the time comes and he will not be
he is eating in the kgotlas main with the old and the young
as we are here now, by the fires
retelling the stories of the past
reliving the moments of the past
making his own his type of story in time...
our past propel us into twenty sixteen
our culture define us
each story told. each moment lived
each step to the future. each moment in time ahead twenty sixteen
as we look brighter for tomorrow with our past
a nation with no past is a dead one
like -father- like - son

the hill is steeply high, it is rising up and up and seems never to stop rising. i follow it with my eyes, my tired looking eyes that seem not to reach the top. and the top looks so distant and blue with smoke, the top penetrates into the vast sky...
so i do not look up uhead, i look at the sides, i look at the shrubs alongside me. these small bushes seem to go on and on. they seem to never stop growing, they seem to never stop going...its a long way.
so, as i brush past them, my tired good looking legs...they seem not to take it anymore. the weight, the steep and gravity...
as i brush past the shrubbery, it is my source of motivation, as i brush past them i feel a source of awakening spirit
you can do it babe
yes you can reach to the peak
keep moving...
i am urged to go on
to never stop rising up and up
so the top is not steep high anymre
it looks so nearer and closer... so clear
rise up babe...
