Writing has a meaning....

Writing is not only about showcasing your ability to write, but also about writing for a meaning, purpose and a sense of understanding. We all write in different ways but what is mostly important is how you spread the message to people using your words, some peope write to impress, some people write to express, and others write to inform, educate and entertain, but what is mostly important is how you use your words to write something that is so rich and makes sense to the reader. Remember that here on Connection with Kabikabi i connect with people using poetry, for me poetry is about making creative connections to create powerfull stories, it can be used as a magic carpet to transport us into our own experiences. To me if you see something in a poem that is part of your life you will not just view it, but live it! I write poems to change people's perspectives on how they view some things in life, i write to motivate, i write to impower, i write to express, i write to inspire, i write to encourage, i write to connect with people, and most of all i write to bring change. Remember: If you write your words you will open the world to others because you are the channel!  I love this quote  "good writers dont write they re-write" dont be afraid of redoing your work, be a perfectionist and make your work stand out. We all have something to write about, we all have stories to tell, it is how you write them that counts. Connect with me kabikabi as i show you my writing skills, and take you to the journey you have never been to.... hold that pen, make sure that the ink full and write until the ink disappears!

BABOKI LE KAE?

Tlhowang ditsebe mme le rate mafoko a mmoki
Ke itshwaretse fela gole gonnye ke raya setoki
Letswaana fela la poko ga ke a abelwa ke wa nta motlhoki
Ga me ga go a tlala le yone komoki

Bagologolo ba buile bare "botlhale ba phala bo bonwa phalaneng"
Nte ke tsatsanke letle le utlwe tswina e e boreledi ya mmoki!
Ke gakgamaditswe ke moagisane wame maabane.... e rile kere ka mmoka a ntsh

ela ka metsi a seruba.
Ba buile bare poko e setlhogo, poko e kotsi.. inaaaaa!

Ke swabile nko go feta lemina fa kele jaana
Baboki le kae tlheng?
Baboki le latlhegetswe ke monate wa poka...
Ijo nna jaanong ke innetse.. se nkganang se nthola morwalo!
A tota le santse le phela?
Basha le lebetse ka go tshameka tshameka ka loleme la bommalona!
Basha le latlhile pua ya bommalona!
Basha le sentse puo!

Go diragatseng ka poko?
Go diragetseng ka poko?
kare go diragetseng ka poko tlheng?
Inaaaaaaaa! Ke utlwa pelo yame e kibakiba!
Pipipipipipipipipi.....

Ga go bokiwe go a sengwa, ga go bokiwe go a sasankwa.
Maabane ke lekile goba ruta ka poko,
Ijoo kare ka bona ba ntlhanogela ba leba molema.

Nna ke santse ke tlile go rera, otla intshwarela fake go kgopisitse
Hai nte ke iketle kana le nna ke loleme lo borethe.
keyeeee keyeeeee keyeeeeeee keyeeeeee
Thathathatha....... Ga!

Today

Today i was born to be who i am
But today i am free to be who i am
Today is a day
Today is a moment
A moment of living
Living with humanity
Today i take a step and leads me to tommorow
Tommorow is not the same as today
Because today is today
And it will always be today!

I WONDER

I wonder if i was...
I wonder if i did...
I wonder if i could...
But i am going to do it!
They will say what they say
But i am made by him
Possibilities are there
Talent is there
So why do you take me so?
Why do you say so?
Do you know me?
Do you really know me?
I am with my saviour, whatever they say
Me, myself and I

Utlwa ka bolwetse ba AIDS!

Ke utlwile ka bomma-maaka kwa ntle
Ke utlwile kgogo e biletsa batho pitsong
Nna botshelo ba me bo bolelo
bo ntima menate ya lefatshe.

Ditsala tsa me; go ntse tlhe!
go lekane; Nyaa! fano gase botshelo ke loso
Botlhogoethata ga bona mosola
Ke ganne go reetsa batsadi bame
Ke ganne go dirisa mosomelwana (condom) tlhe tsala!

Botshelo jwa me botshwere ke nnelete
Ke bona lefifi fa pele ga me
Mmele wame o fisa jaaka molelo
go lela ga go kitla go nthusa ka sepe;
Maikotlhao ke namane ya morago

Ntlhomogeleng pelo tlheng!
Kana go loba ga go thuse
Bua o tla thuswa ke mang fa o rile tuuu!
Fa o didimetse otla swa ole esi.

Ijoo! nna molatlhegi wa batho!
Ijoo! nna sekaka!
Salang sentle tlheng ditsala
Bolwetse ke joo ba AIDS
bo mphamotse jaaka phefo
Utlwa! motho-weetsho bo a bolaya!
Ijooo! go fedile ka nna; salang.

Kgotlhopo "condom"

Ntetlelele ke bue,
Ntetlelele ke a kopa tlhe!
Ntetlelele ke a fetsa tlhe!
Bula ditsebe ke a bua,

Ke bua ka dikausu tsa mokgwenyane,
Ke bua ka dikausu tsa makoti,
Le lona banna atumelang,
Atumelang le lona basadi,
Masaisai otlhe a teng,
Ke bua ka kgotlhopo "condom"

Thuso ya mahala,
Atumelang botlhe bagwebi,
Ka lerato lwa mahala,
Nna ke a go rata,
Lelapa la gago le ya go tlhoka tlhe!
Sechaba se ya go tlhoka,

E tshireletse ka kgotlhopo!
Thibela ka kgotlhopo!
Etsa ka kgotlhopo!
