Phulaphula, nyana.
Ungomnye wabadlali banamhlanje
kwi-chessboard,
nomqeshwa ohleli ngaphaya kwakho
yinkosi yechess.
Akangomhlobo wakho nyana.
Ukwazi ngaphezu kokuba uzazi wena.
Uyazi nge testosterone,
Uyazi malunga nokungavuthwa, kunye ne-naiveté
yabantwana abafana nawe.
Uthembele kwiingenelo zakhe
ukujonga ukungalungi kwakho.
Olu ayilosuku lwakhe lokuqala…
Kodwa yeyakho, kwaye intlekele kufuneka ucinge ngayo.
Kunzima kunakuqala.
Akanamdla wakho entliziyweni,
Kodwa ndiyayenza ....
Mamela ngenyameko ukuba yintoni na umqeshi hayi esithi.
Musa ukukhanuka isifuba seeribhoni kunye neembasa.
Uyawenza umsebenzi wakhe,
kwaye ndibhenela ezingqondweni zenu ngokulungileyo nokubi
ukoyisa.
Umcebisi unomsebenzi,
unemveliso,
unomsebenzi,
unomsebenzi.
Musa ukuyenza loo nto, nyana.
Unobomi.
Siphuma singena kwintlango eluhlaza ngaphaya,
Ngoku, ngubani
ekuqaleni kobomi bakhe
Ngaba awungekhe uvuyiswe ngamazwi ahlabayo, afana noku?
Ku Kwenye indawo ngaphaya kwemngqa wokuphela kwemvula
ukuba Ngaphaya, Ngaphaya,
apho buhlala khona uzuko,
lishushu igazi elimsulwa
Ukunyuka phezulu, ukuya elangeni,
Ubuchule obunokuthi bulahlekise ubomi bakho,

Qaphela.
Umchasi wakho,
umntwana womnye umama,
uya kuphendula ngohlobo,
injongo kabani
ngelo xesha,
kukubulala.
Kwaye uya kufumanisa, ukuba uyasinda kwi-duel,
ukuba awungoJohn Wayne ...
kwaye le ayisoseti yeMGM….
Okanye iDisneyland, nokuba
Ezantsi siyantywila, sivutha amadangatye ethu ngaphantsi,
Hayi indlela okuchulumancisa ngayo oko!
I-roller coaster yabucala,
isixhobo sokufa esikumgangatho ophezulu,
intshukumo engenasiphelo kuzo zonke iinqwelomoya kunye nemilinganiselo.
Kwaye wena, iqhawe esakhiwayo,
uphethe,
kungabikho mntu uphendulayo.
Iyahenda kakhulu.
Siyazi.
Ucime ngehektare enye!
Abantwana bathanda ukudibana okungxolayo,
yonke nje into ngumdlalo wabantwana.
Umqeshwa uthembele kuwe, nyana.
I-Military-Industrial-Complex ithembele kuwe, nyana.
Urhulumente ongathi wosulelekile uthembele kuwe.
Akukho namnye oxhalabileyo ukuba oku kwenzeka njani kuwe.
Abaninzi bethu, abaye banako ubekhona, bakhathazeke kakhulu.
Sihlala eludumo, okanye sihla sivutha,
Iphupha elidumileyo, elikhohlisayo, elimangalisayo,
unyusa ikratshi lakho,
imvakalelo yakho yokuthanda ilizwe,
nokuba sesichengeni kwakho, ngokunjalo.
Inxalenye yomlilo ....
hayi kakhulu ... kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo akukho luzuko.
Hayi! Akukho nto iya kumisa uMkhosi woMoya wase-US!
Ayiyonyani, funa abantu…. Lumka ungancedisi ekuhendezeni.
Kukho izinto ezingcono onokuzenza ngobomi bakho,
kunokuba unikezele ngayo kwi-siren call.
Abaninzi banokukungqina oku!
