The 6th of May






On this day a baby was born 53 years ago; at the age of 28 that child gave birth to a daughter and named her Thuthukani the dad gave her a name too known as Isabella (Bella)

Yes, it is my mother’s birthday today, a woman I am proud to call MY MOTHER.

She had it tough and bad but she also experienced the Lord’s grace and mercy. My Mother made me who I am, she is the one that gave me confidence and 100% self-esteem to face the world that we live in. she taught me how to make an honest living without hurting and abusing others, she taught me how to forgive and to trust. She made her life an open book for me to learn from as much as there is bad in those pages but they stand as warnings and examples preparing for my future just as the bible does.

Through out your life your ancestors have guided you and helped you to find your way home. Awulibalanga imvelaphi yakho nalapho wakhuliswa khona yintombi yaseMahlotshaneni (umhakhulu wam), Mamthembu; Jali ; Maqatha Alikhulu. Wakhuliswa wena ngaMampinga (Songwiqi), ooMawawa;Senzwa;Nyo mntwana;Ingabinoboya ifuna amakhwenkwe; Ungayixhoma exhantini, bayifuna bonke;Mbolokoqoshe

Ntombe entle yaseMampondweni (Notshulwana) wahamba uzifuna waphantsa nokuthwasa wazifumana, mbali yakho yaseMampondweni inde esuka eDedesi mama wam, abakowenu balityhutyha elimiweyo, bangakudanga kuMaMpondomise nooSoga kwanaMaxesibe- Nozala wam Ngqungqushe; Faku ;nyawuza, Thahle kaNdayeni oohlamba ngobende.

Undikhulisile, ange uThixo akusikelele akungcine akubonakalise uthando lwakhe ngam. Uzele ayindim ndodwa usapho lwakho kodwa abakhulu kum bavumele ihlabathi libaginye baze basuka kuwe abayihlonipha ingqeqesho yakho- kodwa wena njengomzali onenimba, uthando lwakho alupheli.

Qina mzali wam, Qina Themba lam, Qina Bomi bam, Yomelela Ntsika yam ukhule ungakhokhobi

Happy birthday Tsicks :)

Warning

I am Love's enemy-- the pain that never goes away, the destroyer of all that is good in your heart I take it you have now seen the monster that resides within, you have mingled and defined/ told apart the weak points from the good Your views from mine make me believe you to be right and i oh i now look down on myself with shame of the monster that i have become Allow me not to turn you into this beast i have become, run and run as far as you can. Hide and forget about my existence because this beast i so hate myself is still me I can not run but to stand and fight, I am in despair and denial I feel undeserving of anything great and pure For i have seen pure turn to dust and great turn to evil Why is the sun suddenly disappearing from my window- how is darkness falling upon me? Have i lost my guard? Is this pain self inflicted? or is the truth hard to swallow? Wake up rise and shine, the world awaits... no time for frowns and heartaches. why choose this soul out of so many?

I was starting school that year, I was scared as hell- come to think of it now- I have no idea what was so frightening?!? I remember getting lost after break trying to find my classroom- lol; I thought it was the end of the world. You don’t understand how frightening it is, to a five year old (turning six) to be in an environment full of people the same age screaming ,shouting, crying and just running loose. It was chaotic (I think my phobia of being in large groups of people started then) I came back from school that day to find my mom and a few of my uncles and aunties dancing with Joy, I still was in the dark (confused). Whilst at school, we did hear some commotion earlier that day and we ran to the classroom windows to see what was happening outside… I ran to my room to put my school bag down and went to sit next to my mom; they were chatting and drinking in celebration. I played a guessing game in my head “is it my birthday today? No, there’s no cake, hmmm, is it my mom’s birthday...

The System

My heart, why you hurting so? What has brought upon you so much pain? As strong and flexible as you are I think you tried to hard and bent too far. My heart, what troubles you so? What has left you in such turmoil? As brave as you have been in the past, it seems that you won’t last. My feet, why do you drag me down so? What chain and ball is slowing you down? As fast as you have been to carry me through so many fires and devotion you have shown. My hands, why do you tremble so? What fear and pain has left useless? As magical as you have been with a pen and paper but now you are clueless. My hands, why you allow my syllabus leave me behind? What has left you disable? What work can be done if not completed buy writing it down with my hands, they are not able. My eyes, why do you cry so? What has disturbed your concentration and stolen you vision? As sharp and sparkling as you have always been in the past but now you show signs of depression. There is something wrong with the system, the ...
