I have a name


I have a name
Despite all the people that greet me
Despite all those that despise me
In all the circumstances
I have a name
In all the struggles I've been through
Through all the praises I've given you
My God, I have a name
A name blessed by you
A name with all that's sufficient
A name with more than meaning
A name that's always greening
I have a name
A name that makes me human
A name that gives me power
A name that always showers the everlasting flowers
I have a name A name so humble
A name so true
A name that is never misunderstood
A name so genuine a name that defines me
A name that divides me
A name that individualizes me
A name that's lasting
I have a name that entices you
A name that excites you
I have an African name that ignites you
A name that recites you
I have a name that beguiles you
A name that manifests in God's benefits
I have a name that is beyond the clouds
Above the stars and next to the moon.
I have a name. And my name is Khauhelo Buti!

Is it here

Is it here or it is there Will you leave or will you stay It is not about what I say Just how and where you'll sway It's pretty deep in this hole we're in And who is willing to lend us a helping hand Pull us up to the surface where day is clearer and smiles become brighter Now will you leave or will you stay For it is not about what I say Just how and where you'll sway So tell me this Is it here or is it there?             Pamela Mkhize

Heritage my heritage

  Where art thou heritage Your beauty lies in the streets Wandering around It's the streets Your beauty lies in the food Food so sensible In the moon Your existence lies in the structures Structures that are built from culture! Heritage my heritage Where art thou heritage It's in the dance that we skip It's in the lives that we live It's in the stories that we share It's in the logs that we lure Heritage my heritage. Where art thou heritage The indigenous trees Fall across alien species They sit in busk in the streets They ponder over the sheets .they grow older and wiser In the Leeds They shrink slower and better in the needs The morning dew in disbelief They wake always in real belief Heritage my heritage Where art thou heritage The land, rivers, seas includes the valleys that stream The arid dessert includes the plants that leak The braais involve the people who speak The speed humps help the drivers that speed The police prevent people that sleep The events play...

I see a different you

I see a different you In the way you speak, the way you scream and the way you dream I see a different you in your originality, individuality and uniqueness I see a different you in your sense of style, your walk and glide and the way you slide I see a different you in the way you smile, the way you're shy and the way you try I see a different you in your eyes and the way your voice curls up like a chocolate swirl I see a different you in your sunrise and sunset, in the woods and the vines, in the leaves and the figs , in your trees and your desert I see a different you in your prize and your light In your colour and your pride In your fortunes and your shed and the poor that lay spread I see a different you working toward a purpose, working to get that meal, that sleep and that sheet I see a different you starving from love , trust and hope that one day just one , Would believe and take that risk To have faith in you again. I see a different you, A vibrant you , Re...
