“The family wants you back oh! Zanele”
<p>A budding star in her own respect<br>
I already miss your flow Zanele.</p>
<p>No matter what you should have stayed<br>
This is a devastating blow Zanele.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call what you did childish<br>
Yet I’ll admonish you to grow Zanele.</p>
<p>Wait! What am I thinking?<br>
To a man? They want to throw Zanele?</p>
<p>I am sure she misses us even more<br>
Who is doing this to Zanele?<!--more--></p>
<p>What is happening to you…<br>
Hope no one is about to plough Zanele.</p>
<p>Hope nobody is standing by againt her will<br>
To snatch – take home and – stow Zanele.</p>
<p>If you left this noble family on your own<br>
Is it right to have left us so, Zanele?</p>
<p>Losing you – temporarily? – the way we did hurts<br>
You are alive and sound though Zanele</p>
<p>Ikechukwu might never feel like telling you this again<br>
You are lovely and comely – an enchanting beau Zanele.</p>
