Nobert Mathumo - Word, Lefoko

Word, lefoko
Letters joined
Coined to make point
Verses that can turn into curses

Mafoko, words
Bangwe baa kgwarantse
In paper, books, le mo dileiting
Nna ke a tswakantse
Like your best meal mo poleiting

I craft my world through this letters
Curl a new life through these verses
Slap the queen across the face
Spit on the king's race
And give him a taste
Disappear with no trace

With these words I make a blind man see
I make the deaf hear
Draw a thin line between brave and fear
Ka mafoko, yes! !

With these words
I look Babylon between the eyes
I tell them only the most high
Wears the crown
And live them with a frown..
