Analysis of ISIDIMA NESITHOZELA

Joseph Mpi 1989 (Cala town)



Sidima awulobhongo neqhayiya
Sithozela asikuko ukunyasha abaneqhiya
Kungaphaya kokuzibona nozidla
Kungekuko ukoyikwa kuphele umdla

Indoda enesidima iyathandeka
Indoda enesizozela iyabukeka
Yonke into iyenza ngononophelo nentozamo
Iyakudela ukukuqaqadeka kunye nempakamo

Ayityeshi emasikweni nasesintwini
Ayilishiyi ikhaya ingumzekelo eluntwini
Igama layo alifumaneki kwintetha nezikhalazo
Isandla sayo asikho kwimpi nenkathazo

Yenza ngokuqonda izeke kade umsindo
Iyazinqala izenzo ezigwenxa ngaphandle kwenzondo
Zonke imposiso zomntu iyazinyamekela
Phakathi kwamadabi obomi iyanyamezela
