‘Aowa’ a realo, ‘Tokologo ga se ebe maemong ao a swanetšego’

Le diketwane tšeo di bofilego mahlo’adibona wa sehlakahlaka sa Robben.

‘Aowa’ a realo, ‘Tsebo ga e dumelele go beelwa ka thoko’-

Mabadi, eupša a sa tšhoge, sefahlego sa Mošomi wa Pakistan. 

‘Aowa’ a realo, ‘Tumelo ga e gapeletšwe’-

Lentšu la kgolego, la boikokobetšo eupša la telelo kua Dapchi,

Lebone la gagwe le sa tingwa phagong la bao ba fišagelwago.

Ka gona, ge go feta nako, lentšu la bopaki le boeletša –

Mandela, Malala, Leah Sharibu – lebone la

‘Aowa, gwa realo Prometheus’, lelakabje le koša,

Di humana diphago, lelakabje leo le kganyago, le phatloga Chibok le Dapchi, go kgantšha lefase gape.
