Andiswa Mvanyashe - Oyaziyo nongayazi

Bayixikixile abakwaziyo

Bayihlafuna abanamazinyo

Bayithufela abanamathe

Bayinyathela banenyawo ezinkule


Bayibone ukuthamba bazicofela

Bazivela beyinyola ngeminw'emikhule

Bayibone ukuzola bayingxolisa obanamazwi

Yintlekisa kwabangayikhathalelanga


Bayibon'intle bayinyolukel' abanyalukileyo

Bayiva imnandi bayitya bayigabha ekuhlutheni kwabo

Bayishiya isonyanyeka

Ingajongeki ifuna ukuhlanjwa ngenxa yosomnyoluko


Ibifanele ubongwa kodwa nayitshicela

Ibifanele ukuvuzwa kodwa bayilimaza

Ibifanelwe kukuthandwa kodwa bayonyanya

Inzima into engumntu


Bayenzile bengayenzanga

Bayicingile bengayicinganaga

Bobubonile ubuhle kodwa asivanga ngabo

Babungcamla ubumnandi kodwa abachaza


Bakhethe ukuyibulala kunokuyiphilisa

Bakhetha ukuyusuzela kunoyicoca

Yinina intw'entle ibingenobukwa?

Intw'elungileyo ibingenokhuthazwa?


Besilindele uvuyo namhla sibona inyembezi

Isililo somfazi esikrakra esiqhawul'intliziyo

Bayephi abanothando bazibonakalise

Mzi wakowethu ndiyakhuza ndilimele ngenxeba elingapholi
