Sithembele Mlenzana Poem
No matter what circumstances, but be proud.
Faith is the main of them all,
Let them talk what they want,
But never give them what they want.
Having nothing is not a threat,
But it is the strength.
Never be afraid of looking at it,
But be afraid of possessing it.
They say background does not determine destiny,
But you do, determine your destiny.
Do not deny being poor,
Demand to be rich , but in love.
Okuhlula amadoda kuyabikwa,
Never let your thoughts to kill you,
Because indoda ayikhali.
Try to share your story with them.
Never let oppressors to ruin your reputation,
But let them to build your inspiration.
You could be ugly in transformation,
But you are better in reflection.
More than million words that could
determine your background,
But not more than ten words that could
determine your future.

Sithembele Mlenzana Poem
In the valleys of hills, that’s where I am,
In the branches of trees, that’s where I climb.
Lost is something far Away,
But cost is something I carry.
What kind of universe I live,
Where enemies are amongst related lives.
Who knows?
Maybe I am the one who spoil it.
Souls had lost their beloved ones,
Because of destructive propaganda.
Ukubola kwelinye kuwabolisa wonke,
A young greedy lion had separated our unity.
Qungebe is a piece of rural area,
But it had turned to a piece of war area.
Conflict had consumed our peace,
Nkosi sikelela,
Before it was a temple,
But now it is a death template.
Why?
After all sacrifices and prosperities.
We’re no longer relatives,
Instead we’re enemies.
My blood now is a stranger,
While I am scavenger.
Maybe I am Paul in Bible,
Sent by god, someone hunt me like Judas.
Someone has turned Abraham to kill his blood
For unnecessary occasions.

Sithembele Mlenzana Poem
Me, myself out of all,
Struggling in a jungle what a call?
My reputation is totally ruined,
While storms are starting to rain upon me.
Am I too bad for success,
Because I am too fed by curses?
Am I dumped by my fellow ancestors?
Oh, my fellow brothers and sisters.
Please my lord be with my siblings,
During bad and hard seasons.
Here are the destructive storms upon them,
No corruptive actions should be done, Amen.
I feel like I am drowning on the deep ends of Black hills,
In fact, I feel drowsy when I am on my feet.
I can’t stand and make my better future,
Am I failing to manage my culture?
Help!! No one recognising my voice,
Friends are out of nowhere to hear my voice.
Let me forget about my good friends,
I see now, my first enemy is my friend.
What is this thing called a friend?
My home’s name is erased by friends.
Where is its dignity?
Oh! My neighbour knows very well.

Sithembele Mlenzana Poem
You smiled, I also did.
I winked at you, you smiled again.
I saw a star upon me,
Shining bright like a Diamond.
I fell for you, and you also did,
I told you and you listened.
I asked you and you denied,
I turned my back and you smiled again.
I felt like I am stupid,
While you saw me like a hero.
I saw you like an angel,
While you thought I am an angel.
You were nothing to them,
But you were something to me.
You became something to them,
While you’re everything to me.
I loved you and you also did,
So we loved each other,
While they crushed on each other.
Amazing!
