Imbokodo
All these body is filled with strength and courage
All these body is filled with betrayal and abuse
This world called this body
This world called “women”
Rose from a barrel of madness with courage to stand up from a place called the unknown
These body shouted gender equalizing its rights for life
“Mbokodo” we shouted
“Amandla a Ngaka?” filled in us knowing that we bring about change
These body knows it will not die without change
We are faced with issues like any other
We are women with issues fighting the struggle of equalizing our rights
Sometimes knowing that we are achieving is victory spotted in the hearts of those who fought and paved the way
Sometimes hope is the word of our truth
Gifting us with love and grace
When all seemed dark or gloomy
We fought for our rights to be matched with those who could not be questioned for change
We are the change and we are women
