Motherland (Eclogue)
In the country of my forefathers,
Economy is friendless and upset,
Politics are sleeping with labour,
Justice is seducing foreign crime,
Poetry is turned on, but it fears,
Traditions keeps history hostage,
Religions are attempting suicide,
Nature is busy biting its tongues,
Fruits are swearing at their trees,
Education shows God axis finger,
Seas gets shallow, graves deepen,
Life confront its first nightmares,
Death is satisfying its final desire,
Future is stinking nothing but lies,

Mohlouoa Ntsasa Poem
CLOSE HABIT (GHAZAL)
I sniffed a habit called close
I cut my heart to see you close
I kiss your hands and neck
Each time I pull you close
I kiss your cheeks and eyes
For keeping your beauty close
I kiss your pains and tears
Each time your wound close
I kiss your world with a seal
Nobody jealous can get close
I kiss your shadow and smell
Now for worry gap you close
I kiss your lingerie’s and rings
Behind each door you close
I kiss your tongue and lips
For every secret you disclose
I kiss your divorce certificate
Until I find someone close
