Language

Mlweni, Sanibonani, Dumelani, Guemadag, Mwiriwe, Moro and Good day

What is a language?

Is it what your mother gave you?

Maybe your father?

Why abandon what your blood

gave you?

But when I think back

I remember my grandma use to tell me

When you know too many you know the world

You know people

But again I ask why know too many forget

What that woman gave you, the one

You so call a mother.

Know but don't forget

what you got from that woman

Your mother tongue is

the most precious gift

You get to take wherever you go

and

THAT IS A LANGUAGE
