My talent
LWAZI MGULWA 1975 (Whittlesea)
Long ago the big trees had fallen
I was hurt to see their branches broken
When they passed
I saw rivers to be crossed
Word of admiration
Was my dedication
They kept concentrating
To what I was expecting
Aye, I consider myself a poet
Poetry is considered creative art
I have grown a creative mind
Where is the origin of this kind?
Zealous I was to have a poetic vision
Love for me was initially scientific
But today it is rather poetic
And artistic
I measured my pride
I still needed a guide
This is a fountain of wisdom
Poetry, my gift.
