RED HELMET

A cry
of come and see
our home is a home
of tears and bitterness
women crying
night and day
a black cockerel
red helmet
is in the house
a smash hit
mother father child
ending up with
an infant
it started
with a dog outside
a cry
of come and see
what can we do now
household and furniture
everything is gone
we found a woman
in tears inside
a crying mother
is now a song

Bonang wee
bonang yoo
lapeng laheso
ho tsikitsano ya meno
basadi ba kgelella dikeledi
bosiu le motsehare
tlopo kgubedu
kgoho a ntsho e kene
lapeng la heso
ngwana mme ntate
e qadile ka ntja ka ntle
a kobotile ho fihla leseeng
boning wee
bonang yoo
re tla bona re entse
jwang na
thepa e ile yohle
re fuma keledi tsa
mme wee ese ele pina.
