Kungani o kungani
O ngicela ungitshele ukuthi kungani
Ingabe wama emseleni Waze walinda ukufa?

Ngenkathi indoda eyayiphethe isithi “dlulela phezulu” Kungani anizange nonke
Ithi “Yima, ima, ima”?

Izinyawo zakho zisodakeni Ingabe ikhanda lakho lalisefwini Noma abakutshelanga
Ungaya ekhaya ngendwangu?

Futhi labo bantu ekhaya kanye nezingane zakho ezingakazalwa Futhi zonke lezo zigidi Ezasala zilila

Abafana obabulele Nabangane bakho abashonile Ungangitshela manje Yini eyayigculisa?

Abantu abaphethe. Ngingenalutho engingalunikela
Kepha ukubhujiswa okuphelele
Kulabo babiza ezinye.

Bakuthole kanjani
Ukuzondana
Lapho ujulile impela
Ubungumfowenu kumfowenu?

Ukubulalana
Ayinandawo emhlabeni
Awubonanga kanjani
Lokho kwakungekhona ukubaluleka kwakho kwangempela?

Sinezinto eziningi ezifanayo njengabantu
Futhi zonke izigaba zethu
Akusikho lokho ababonakala ngakho.
