The poem celebrates stage 4 of Lockdown
Ndanigqibela nini na?
Benisa dukelephi na
Kukade ndinikhangela
Ntonje ndidengwa ngamabalabala enu
Nibahle ninemikhitha
Kuyavakala kuyabonakala
Mandinibonge ngendima nenkuthalo
Ngokwenzela lul’umzi omhle wase Mzantsi Afrika
Nafak’izigqumi mpumlo nemilomo
Anagquma buso njengabakhuthuzi
Saza sacinga lonk’ilizwe liyakhowla
Kwaye linqula Thixo wamaSilamusi.
Siyanikhahlela singaqali
Balondolozi bamakhaya enu
Imizi ngemizi namhlanj’iguyile
Kwatsho kwanqaba namasela nabakhuthuzi
Nathi boontamo zilukhuni salunga
Salungisa silungisisa de nathi salunga
Mz’omhle siyanibhotisa kwesi sigaba sesine
Mz’omhle siyanibulisa mawaba
Uthikoloshe uphumil’ezingcongolweni
Epheth’izibhunqa zobuthi
De kwavalwa kokuthengiswa kwemidiza
Kwanqanqatheka nalowo ebesaqala ukulifunda
Ndakhumbula uMqhayi xa esithi ngembodlela
Ngubani na lo nguYeye
Uhamba nabani noyise
Undiphathele ntoni amasi n
Ngendeb’enjani ebomvu.
Nobutywala busanqamkile
Besele sizal’el’isiyobisi
Sizalela iithaveni
Camagu Rhulumente
