Witches with spears
Bitches with bloody tears
The shape of diamonds
Walk the land
Work the lad
Invisible to the naked eye

Their war cries
Pierce deaf ears
And the blind bear witness
As thighs are split
Limbs severed
And babies are born fathered by Pain

In the midnight hour
They beat a bitch’s brew
Out of their chests hearts drum
And they dance and chant for the rain
Rich with breasts milk, mother’s tears and blood sweat
This witch’s brew drenches the land

And silently she marches
Spears she sharpens
Tears cleanse her body
War paints her faces

This witch shifts shape
Prostitute at sunrise
Man by midday
Witch at sunset
Queen by midnight

This hermaphrodite
Your beloved nightmare
Comes in the dark
This succubi mother of all incubi

Herstory is rewritten
From creation to eternity
Misshapen cellulite
Devious saints
Fallen women in Magdalene Asylum

Dreaded Medusa
Barren mother of messiahs
Death is birth
A tale told in blood

A ghost unholy
Whose nine heads
Set the time to eternity’s
Revolution chimes
(re)evolution rhymes
Evolution finds
Ninavanhu-Ma
From whose three breasts
We suck life!

Black on Black

Tired woman
Wrinkled faces speak of cases
Overlooked of a weaker sex
Overpowered in a survival of the strongest
Of children born unwanted spawns
A mans world produced from repeated
Forced entries

Yasukaphi lempi?

Blk man on blk woman
Taking his right to be a man
Breaking the hymen
Claiming his woman
Maiming babygirl
Saying the negative will cancel the positive
Spreading the dying of the positive

Lomhlaba usobuswa ‘amaphela

Blk on blk
Lacks the Insight
To see the Light
Shining Right Inside

Blk man hide
Behind armed struggle
Man made traditions
Forsake mother of sun for son
Rip the heat between the thighs
Stoned by dick
Right white lest the weaker get stronger

Uthando ‘lunjani oluhamba nezibhakela?

Cast from bent rib
Bend over for batter and worse
Silent foetus knows death
Can’t defeat us with firm feet us
Rooted in the earth
Death is but birth
At birth we begin to die

Nithinizoba yini na, uma nisibulele sonke?

Black on black
Lacks the insight
To see the light
Shining right inside

Sayisusaphi lempi
Uthando lwayaphi na
Uthi uzobayini
Uma ubulala omama
Nisithanda njani ngenzondo
Kukhala umama wakho
Usisi wakho uyakhala
Odadewenu bakhihli ‘isililo
Ogogo nobabekazi
Indodakazi yakho iyakhala

Black on black
Lacks the insight
To see the light
Shining right inside
