Konakelephi

Liphelo Magaba 2006 (Eastern Cape)



Ingaba konakelephi na nkosi?
Kutheni nje siphila kabuhlungu?
Ingaba sophumla mhla sifike kuwe ?
Kanti wadala iindlavini zabantu
Hayi ngokuba ndibadele ngumsindo
Kwaye nentlungu andala lamazwi
Ngoba zingcuka ezabhethe ufele lwegusha
Abantu abaphila ngokuhlukumezana
Abantu abaphila ngokudlwengulana
Abantu abaphila ngoku bulalana

Hayi ndiyabona ilizwe lethu liyatshabalala
Andiyazi noba mhlawumbi ndiyaxoka
Ubonanje amadoda abetha obafazi
Otata bona badlwengula abantwana
Amadoda amadala aleqeka emva kwabantwana abancinci
Intsapho zethu ziyathakathana
Ubonanje nobulungisa abusekho
Ndithi ubomi buyintlekisa
Akhonto ilungayo abantu sebenikezele

Ingaba biyintando yakho nalena
Ukuba ilizwe litshabalale ngoluhlobo
Mhlambi ndim ophazamayo andazi
Xa ndisithi ubomi bunzima manyani
Silala ngazo sivuke ngazo sizosule
Kubengathi akwenzekanga nto
Kodwa ithemba alilahlwa bantase
Noba sekunzima kangakanani
Nkulunkulu besicela ubenathi
Ume nathi nangelixesha

Nawurhabula ningafinci apho
