I Am Madosini
Under the shadow
A voice suppressed
Power undermined
A tree bowed
A wire stretched
I am Madosini
My wintry Eastern Cape
The wretched of people
Disempowered in masses
Life labour in reserves
I am Madosini
Harvest of the voice
Melody of the wood
The string of the sound
The power of the feet
I am Madosini
Customised in Ubuntu
Indigenised in the land
The hewers of wood
Drawers of water
I am Madosini
The haunt of a dream
The dangling umrhube
The ancestor must be lying
A childhood of sound?
I am Madosini
Chased by the bow
Arrowed by umrhube
Endited by uhadi
Bowed to the calling
I am Madosini
Nowhere to somewhere
The world calls my name
Sound pierces the royal
Bow of...
