Life In Soweto

I live at Soweto,
but all what i see,
amusee me and some times i laugh.

Dogs can bark,
and birds can cry all the night,
when all the thieves,
moving up and down ,
like cats and dogs.

Soweto my love,
i wonder about you,
and i cry for you for all what you're!

A Place Called Home

Born and raised in the streets of Soweto 
Ndofaya, kasi lama kasi is what i call it 
Grew up in search for gold 
all i found was coal 
A shack for a house but it was home
The streets made you wise 
the hustle put food on the table
Growth was far from reach  
wisdom was key 
knowledge guaranteed a future
If only i learned to combine the two 
i would have found gold

Couplet

Storm rages brimestones   from ages to ages.
    The earth quakes from its foundation,flakes of hell erupts from the depths beneath.
   Seed of discord blossom
  In the very cord of the society as nightfalls in    soweto  forestalls the dawning of a new era.  
Blaming mankind's curiosity or nature's complexity.



This is my first attempt on couplet,critics are welcome to air their minds.

Epitaph on Zenani


                         Here lies Zenani among the first rains.
                         May her spring, thoughts and hands enrich our brains.


                                                                                     June 15, 2010

(Zoleka Mandela's daughter, Zenani died at the age of 13, in a car accident in 2010. Zenani died two days after her birthday, in a car accident, while on her way home from the World Cup concert in Soweto.)
