(pronounced something like “tore-kore-losh-ee”. This nonet is written about the fabled little man whom many black South Africans fear - possibly more than death itself)
Tokoloshe! Zulu warrior,
why is it you tremble in fear
when you hear “Tokoloshe”?
Surely he is not real,
this pint-sized zombie
with gouged-out eyes
and power
to kill
you?
