When He Saw Me,He Said,Sibusisiwe! INTOKANCEDE!

It is the decision that was taken
That distinguishes the way
It is the honour that is given
That abolishes your enemies

It is black and strong
Yet heavy to carry
It is unique and petite
Yet durable

It is the sequence of events
That formulate the path
It is the bearing of consequences
That sweetens the taste buds

It is too hot to handle
Yet cold as ice
It stings your inner core
Yet sweet as syrup

It is the comprehension of thoughts
That brings kindness
It is the hunger for growth
That leads to victory
