THE NOKO PALM
I am Kwenadi
Very own Mohanuwa's reflection and Shomo's image.
Like a pot boiling i carry their pride and their identity.
I am a female crocodile
Beneath the deepest rivers
I bow to respect and honour the gift of life.... My life...
I am a Queen.
My blood sink deep into the ocean of royalty
So like a dry dessert longing for rain
I live to translate my forefather's unpoken words to the Noko Clan.
I am Kgadi
I carry thee crown with pride
For i am a leader
A mother and a sister to the clan.
I am like a palm of a tree
Each day of my life - i grow to glow
To nourish the seed of knowledge they have planted in me.
I am Kwenadi'Shomo wa Mahlako
I carry the name of my ancestors.
Till eternity i shall obey and follow the lead...
For in this name lies my destiny...
