Lekau Mamabolo Poet Lyric

What Is It

What is it that makes people cry?
Travel within path of sadness
And hold on to their forbidden treasures

What is it that makes people to hate?
Put others on trial, only to make them suffer
And cry like goats when the spell is reversed

What is it that makes people to walk away?
Live as if nothing wrong is happening
Pretending not to know, while the truth is out there

What is it that makes people to dance?
Sing ancient songs
Hoping fate will rescue them

What is it that makes people glad?
Wait for tomorrow with passion,
With their eyes looking up to the sky
What is it?

Lotte Lo April 9, 2015 at 5:58 AM Inspiring words and very touching! Messages are hidden and clear at the same time what gives the reader freedom to see his or her own images, to be individually touched and to be connected with a collective conciousness as well. Good work, good rhythm and harmony. Greetings and a nice day for you Lekau :) Lekau Mamabolo April 9, 2015 at 8:09 AM Greeting to you too Lotte,thank you for your wonderful comment, enjoy the rest of your day... Lekau
