Kwanomfundo

Njabulo Sikhakhane 1997 (Nkandla)

Sonnet
Iyalwa ihlomele
Kujikelani ezandawonye
Ziyacija imikhonto
Yokuqoba kwanompumelelo
Ezinye ziyawela

Ezinye ziyasala
Abaqobi bathweswa olwegwalagwala
Bahlobile ngemijiva
Bayagiya bayaqephuza
Ukuphuma kwempakama

Sekubonwa yibo
Isibani sesiyakhanya
Nakwantuthu bayalilizela
Kwazise ilapho
Ijula buchopho
Ezijula zijubalale ngolwazi
Kusindwe ngobethole
Ezicinjwe khona
Zibonakala ngemibala
