metro african ligkaribe

I’m a Bantu girl (likgaribe) of Setswana/ Sotho /Shona descent.. Having grown up in Bulawayo I also have a strong Ndebele heritage. Currently I live in Botswana but a part of me will always be Ndebele. I am of the Mmirwa tribe –, my totem is the Buffalo & just like the Buffalo I am very brave, protective, fierce and dangerous when provoked. I love learning about my African heritage, and that of other people, I believe if you stop learning as a person you might as well roll over and die.

of it

(read comment to understand poem)
we (caterpillar) do not know what we are in this world (cocoon) and so how can we become who we will be in this world. Its like the famous philosophical saying I don’t know if its Plato or Socrates who said it – “know yourself”.
