The
Cow
Kgomo motswalle wa
malapa
Re sechabana sa kgomo
Tse kgunou le tse
phatswana
We too venerate the
cow
Yours are holy
Ours gifts one with a
wife
Belts and shoes
forbidden in temples
While we cloth caskets
with cow skin
Kraals of ancestral
wealth
Guide lineages-
passages of life
I saw us in you
Even in your extremist
The universal flows
Connects us like water
Spirit laws move with
us
Here cows seal
dealings
