Dear
Thandeka
Who told you
that your beauty can give
You all that
you need on this earth?
Well your
beauty gave them all they
wanted from
her. THANDEKA
Hai kuthi
uya thandeka, just that
People want
to take ownership of
Your assets.
Even naming
your private parts in public
Your name
became a disturbing distorted
sound to
our ears.
THANDEKA!!
You were
once beautiful within, before
Your cute
naked eyes were covered
With lies.
You were
made to shine at the horizon
The sky was
never meant to be your limit.
If only the
hands of time can hold you
Back. But
behold you wind the arms
your clock
and turned your back
against
time.
Your future
was brighter than the morning
Sun, days
before you abandoned the Son that
Lived within
you.
Within you,
I saw a role model
Little did I
know, you were cat walking
Your way
into curiosity.
Once upon a
time they walked from
Your behind,
because you were figured
By then. Now
you are figured from the
Front and
slender at the back/bag, where
Are your
books, because you are busy
Passing
pregnancy tests.
Submitting
your CV’s to the SASSA offices
While your
peers are employed to the SAA
They are
passing with flying colors.
Dear
Thandeka!!
What made
you think that riding
In their
cars will give you a status?
You became the
perfect status message
On every Facebook
account because of
Failing to
face your own books.
An innocent
soul is facing obstacles,
Sufferings
and sicknesses, just because
You were too
clever to even test your
Fertility at
a younger age,
A teenage
mother jumping
Out of her
dreams, the only wish you
Have at
sunset is the one to see your
Son sleeping
with a happy stomach.
Your long
term goals are turning into off sides,
It takes you
to kick life around the corners
To put bread
on the table, for you
Became the
head of your own little family.
Thandeka!!
Or should I
say dear Mrs. No one
To be with.
Do u remember when
I told you
how I felt about you, you
Kicked me
away because I had
None but a
bunch of books.
I still love
you and your son.
Tell him
that Uncle Ivan says” hang in there,
That’s where soldiers are born, hold the
Gun and point straight at your fears, there
Is no light without darkness, learn to walk
in
Your sleep, I know you can follow your
dreams,
Let your home begin where charity is”
Let your
home begin where charity is
Dear
Thandeka, raise that son to shine
In the dark
and warm your tears.
It is never
too late to change your
Attitude,
you can still rise above the
Altitude and
embrace your dreams.
Though it
was ear breaking to hear
Sad stories
about you, I never thought
One day I’d
write a sad poem about you.
My hand was
even shaking, the pencil
Was dissing
around the stage, so confused
To even
misspell your name
Than-daza,
Tha-ndile
Thaaaannn-Deka!! Thandeka
