![]() Through the Lion's eyeA Poem by Walani NdhlovuAs I pass through the suburb I try to make my way short With my eyes bright and superb Shining over the map I brought
Down steep in the valley The villagers call Upon god, their alley, Angels and more
The moon seems to glitter Like gold in the sky The tongue taste bitter As the mouth goes dry
Up in the hills The lions roar I speed up my wheels To save my soul
A city ahead my eyes pursue Of gold, diamonds and all treasure But their seem to be no way through Though my heart bounces to it with pleasure
The sun goes to bed But the light seem to divorce That makes me still see the city ahead And the wind going forward pushes me with force
Finally I find my way Through a mine of the great ion But my mouth opens with no word to say Upon looking at the eye of a lion
But I don’t blame my eyes For it looked like gold for real And I can’t do otherwise Just let it have me for its meal.
