Ngiphilela ini!
Thembi Ndlovu 1994 (Johannesburg South)
Kungani kwamele ngiphile?
Kungani ungigcinile emhlabeni?
Kungani ungathathi umphefumulo wam?
Ngiphilelani nje!
Ungiphiliselani?
Ungigcineleni?
Ungibekeleni?
Ngisaphilelani kodwa?
Kungani ngiphilela ezimathonsi?
Kungani ngiphilela ubunzima bomhlaba?
Kungani kungena zwelo kimi na?
Ngibulele bani, ngijeza nje?
Izinkinga zomhlaba ngiphila nazo mhla.
Akukho ukuphumula emoyeni wami.
Kumapheketwana konke emphilweni wami
Kanti yisiphi isono sami kule zwe?
Thatha umoya wami enyameni!
Thatha lo mphefumulo senganele!
Kuyefana ngoba ngiyafana nongasekho.
Kungani ngingazumeki ngishiye lomhlaba?
Ngiphilelani na!?
