Course cause

 


Atmospheric metamorphosis at a ravine entry

sensed by a hiker that knows that little reveals plenty

Mother nature loves and nurtures us

flawless creation from a gorge to gorgeous


The dawn horizon with its luring vista
created exclusively for a mind to picture

Breathing morning breeze enhancing one's aura
a soul's qualia in harmony with the fauna and flora

We wander off into the wildness to find ourselves
motive for trekking trails, nature defines our health

Transcending the elements, innate strength tests the limits
a step at a time journey knows no short cuts to the finish

Be still, here and now, just be and encounter agape
life's permanence is elusive, a lesson from a mirage

Ancestral trailblazers afore, lived a holistic life of purpose
I, stand on giant griot shoulders, charting me a cause for course.

Inani

Ngi ngu-Galafani,
o ka-Zenani, Umphetjhani.
olamana no-Bongani
amasokana ka-Mashobane.

ngivumbuka ngehla kwamnyamane,
entabeni.
ngifumbethwe ngeyobukhweni. enyangeni, ebukhosini. ukudibana ka Dlambili no-Mbandeni.

esandleni sefene ukudla kwepilo ekukhanyeni. esiqinile isandla sivikela umndeni. sitjhaba sabeZimu ephasini. ongifunako ozongifumana entabeni.

ngelusa ezimbili. Sambulo, ikunzi ematholweni. Nokukhanya, Kosikazi ebantazanyeni. ukuhlakanipha kokusasa ebaZimwini. ikhambo lemvelo, ipilo nephasi ngokuKhalipha neKani. uzuza inani!

Galafani.

sunflower field


sunrise, golden light rays kiss the earth to ignite life
a spark of divine flame hosts all the living entities

it is all within everyone of us, the magical God particle
known to curious pure hearts leading a life of mysteries

the Light loves you, follow it in every field of your life
there will be dark spaces, a primal state of light

keep your face fixated unto the sun, that is your guide
it is in your heart, mind, body and soul to take flight

faithfully plunge into the eternal swim and know the tide
you are energy itself, the seed of life to go against the grain

annointed with talent and intelligence that  can't be destroyed
confidently step forth knowing you are above joy and pain

your are the light, love yourself enough to full contentment
order your Queendom, the universe, to grant all that's contained in it

all the blemishes perish when you exist in God's one power guild
where you are the light, love, hope and the way of sunflower field.

When you receive a gift (for Sobi)


When you receive a gift of birthright and talent to teach
reach myriad souls to uncover potential laying latent to each

Uplift spirits to high thought echolons but speak softly
The magical encounter of life that occurs when you meet Sobi

The enchanting brilliance of the dawn horizon golden Sunrise
Luminating all dark corners and spring forth life's surprise

An illuminated soul that is guided from birth by enlightened minds
The sheer benevolence that kept us assured in frightened times

Inspiring with lofty ideals that enhance upright characteristics
Remaining rooted to humble realms with charming charismatics

Fallible juvenile traits aspiring to perfect inherent leadership features
Implausible to fail, convicted to the adage that "Chief, We are the future!"

When you meet Sobi, that is when you receive a gift
A presence of Life, Love and Light transcended too swift

A manifested messenger of life that has risen to the heavens
I received a gift, I met Sobi, the indelible memory is pleasant

Phallic


Produced in a dysfunctional dehumanizer
Still anticipated to be a man wiser
How when all that It knows was pushing hard against odds in this fucking life

Missed a lot of steps in the cover ground lived with haunting demons that hover around
A tainted soul taunted old memories of an absent man to a loving wife

Humiliated, stripped naked on public podium
Pushed to incorrigible human realm by own odium
Vexed aura oozing off deadbeat demeanour

Emasculated from being a garrison for worn families
Ejaculated sperms germinating seeds of sworn enemies
Dick as an unloved tool of pulling down and misdemeanor

Untitleable


I know I Am Galafani by cultural naming incidence.

I know I Am Masilela by paternal inheritance.

I know I Am male by chromosomal sex difference

I know that I Am Ndebele by tribal 'chance'

But supreme to all above instance,
And beyond belief and convictions

I KNOWS that I Am that I Am by transcendence

TM


ONE RARE AFRICAN PROPHET ADORED AT HOME
BRIGHTLY OUTSHINING DARK FORCES THAT ABHORED BLACK THRONES.

ENVISIONING A STATE OF A PEOPLE LIVING IN PEACE
CHARGED WITH UBUNTU SPIRIT THAT HAS DEATH DECEASED.

THE RENAISSANCE ENERGY WILL NEVER BE DESTROYED
FOR MANY TIMES TO COME ITS FRUITS WILL FOREVER BE ENJOYED.

YOU ARE THE GREAT SUN THAT SHINES UNSEEN
NEVER SEEKING ADULATION BUT GIVING LIFE TO BEINGS.

THROUGH YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS A LIFE REALITY OF AFRO-OPTIMISM MANIFESTED
A STATE OF HOPE, FLOURISHING THROUGH HARDSHIPS THAT MANY TESTED.

WE WONT, NOW THAT THE TIDE IS TURNING, REST ON OUR LAURELS
A PEN IS MIGHTIER, USING OUR MINDS INSTEAD OF THE BARRELS.

I WONT BE AT PEACE AND FREE UNTILL MY NEIGHBOUR IS
A SIMPLE SPIRITUAL LAW MASTERED BY GAME IN THE WILDERNESS.

YOU ARE A RENAISSANCE MAN, A TRUE SON OF THE SOIL
PLACING PEOPLE FIRST, REACHING FOR LAST STRENGTH WHEN RUNNING YOUR TOILS

FOCUSED AS A LIGHT BEAM ON A BRIGHTER TOMORROW WITH EYES OF PAIN
A TIME DISCIPLE KNOWS THAT SURELY THE SUN SETS BUT ONLY TO RISE AGAIN!
