The Hunter’S English Poetry: Part 1 (Anthology)

By N.M. Mhlongo

N. M. MHLONGO passionately believes that poetry has the power to mold, shape, inspire, invigorate, and cultivate ideas, and is integral to helping anyone communicate a variety of sentiments that include love, sorrow, appreciation, and praise.

In an anthology of thirty poems, Mhlongo explores a variety of significant topics and emotions that allow others to see inside his thought processes and heart as he shares lyrical insight into the value of trust, the pride he feels for his beloved country, the certainty of change in all aspects of life, and the power of love to be patient, kind, and allow us to forget our pain.

The Hunters English Poetry shares a collection of verses that offer enlightening perspective into a South African mans vision of his world and those who share it with him.

A person may become great through many means, but there is only one measure by which its greatness is recognised and acknowledged. The final measure of greatness of all is the amount and standard the literature and art they have produced.
James Weldon Johnson

Satiation/Acknowledgement

I wish to acknowledge the contribution my family members have done in making this book a great success. My heartfelt also goes to the range of colleagues for onerous work done in proof reading this art work. Many thanks to my Lord for inspiring these overflowing thoughts in my head.

1. Trust

It’s all about trust.

We can make this work.

Away with differences.

All we need is trust.

Trust make things happen.

With trust we can conquer the world.

We rely on each other

for better, for worse.

They say trust no one

but I say let us trust each other.

Two heads are better than one.

Let us stay in trust

that is the right thing to do.

2. Sgodiphola’s Dream

The wishes of everyone in the school

the dream of every person in the community

to restore the culture of teaching and learning.

There is only one way to do it

The school started with a low note

the parents built few classes

The Department made our dream a
