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!

Move ON!

The time has come for you to clear your mind!
The time has come for you to free your soul!
The time has come for you to change your life and Move ON!

It has taken you far too long to reach this place..
From dark days, dark places and dark moments..
But it's right here...right now... for you to Move ON!

My brother.. Move ON and shed yesterdays tears and sorrows!
My sister...Move ON and forget about the rumours, lies and critics they spread about you!
Eish.. just move on and reach your dreams!


I am talking to you wena wa di weaves and braids
I am talking to you wena wa di natural hair and hair cut
Hey! I am talking to you wena handsome and beautiful
Sorry....*snaps fingers* I am talking to you! Move ON!

It seems your fears may try to hold you back
It seems your fears may try to block your way
But with courage and faith otlo fitlha shame!

Though you have been tossed and turned in life storm
Though you have been halted and hated
Though you have been misjudged and prejudiced
Mara o sa wara otlo le bona lesedi mos!

Woza...Come...Atumela tlhe!
Its your time
Its your chance
For you to Move ON!

Moving On

I am moving on holding and reaching towards my hopes and dreams
It has taken me far too long to reach this place
It seems my fears may try to hold me back
To try and block my way
But with courage and faith in my heart... i will get there
Come what may the road will be..
It may be along one...
And it may be rocky too, but when i get there in time my dreams could all shine trough..
Along with the destiny i choose
Though i have been tossed and turned in life storm
I will surely see a brighter dawn
I am no longer held back by my fears
I am finally MOVING ON!

ARRIVE ALIVE!

This one goes to all the Drivers in Mzansi, i love you all!

ARRIVE ALIVE

You heard them singing the same song to you
You heard them preaching the same words to you
Saying ARRIVE ALIVE!

But this is my time to say this out loud to you... Hey ARRIVE ALIVE!
This is the time of mzansi fo shosholoza,
Where things are tossing and turning,
My brother.. You cannot drink and drive
My sister... You cannot text while driving

Eish dont forget to wear your safety belt!
Your mother want to see you arriving alive!
Shshshshhh.. Its your call...Its your Choice...Its your responsibility

Plz, listen to the voice of Kabelo...
Saying this out loud to you..arrive alive...arive alive...

Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday i was blind to see the future
Yesterday i suffered a pain i never suffered before
Yesterday i never lived my dream, i was lost
Yesterday i was all wrong, but today i realised that i've got big dreams ahead of me.
I woke up quikly, to feel the rhythm of Mzansi

I shed yesterday's memory muddled day
I never want to look back, what is gone is gone
I am no longer saying "ga nkabe ke"
I am no longer saying "goreng ke sa"

Today is my time to shine
Today is my time to glow
I have the voice
I have the say
And i will surely bright for tommorow

Dont Judge Me

You see me walking like a boomshell
You hear me talking like a chick
You watch me like a spectator
Hhm..Do u think you are better laying your ugly eyes at me

Watching every move i make
Watching every step i take
Watching everything i do
Heee tlhe...Dont judge me!

Dont judge me because of how i talk
Dont judge me because of how i walk
Dont judge me because of how i look
Dont you dare judge me because of what i wear
Haiiibo...Dont judge me!

You whisper at my back o bua ka nna
You laugh out loud okare ke a tshegisa
Sorry...Dont judge me!

You jungle, jeer, jump with joy behing my back
You tose, turn and take a break behind my back
So you think you know me?
Nope you dont know me!
So PLEASE Dont judge me okay!

Who i am

This is the question which is mostly asked by people who really want to know you, or who already know you! One thing i learned in life is to be my self and stop pretending to be someone else. Well here is a question, who are you? You are a precious human being, born in a precious world, you are free to express yourself in any way you like, free to love yourself in any way you like. You are a PERSON. This is my first time posting a blogg but i believe it will open your mind YOU a reader. Kabelo "kabikabi" is a social type of person, i tend to be warm, friendly, polite and co-operative, i love connection with people and that is the reason why i call my blogg "connection with kabikabi". What i would like to teach you is that, lets not JUDGE OTHERS! I am what i am!
