Skietreker on the late Marobele




RIP Gloria Marobele

The moon sleeps and pushes the wind
To change the direction of the sun

The son is me
The daughter is Gloria
The conversation the interview
The review
God let me rhyme & change this view
She wrote for me
Gloria rest in Peace
This one is for you

Father I want to pray & praise you
But what I’m feeling right now
Come and touch me
This moment is not glorious
I’ve loved and lost too many souls
I don’t feel Glorified or Blessed
I’ve lost my sister I’m hurt
And that’s Obvious not Glorious

When I think about Free State News
With words “Ke ya phamisa”
Even when my eyes are closed I still see you
I see you for your spirit flows and touches those who shall speak of you
Sing and write a song in News Rooms
Spiritual Corners Columns and Headlines
In Every moment every minute and every second
Let us remember
Gloria for being Glorious & Glorified
Let us close our eyes and pray
For father we remain Horrified
With such news God have mercy
She’s gone & we are still Terrified
I’m Broken from the 3 corners of 1 point
I fall and break & melt
Its time to write pray & speak the truth
Not even God can catch me …

On my way to Heaven
I sleep hoping to wake up
I dream open my eyes & die.

This verse is dedicated to the loving memory of Gloria Marobele.

Luv Skietreker

  1. Though memories still bring sorrow on our faces, I would like to thank FS news for this. It shows that her spirit still lives in you. On behalf of the family, it is highly appreciated that Free state news still keep glorias spirit living. Thank you, may her soul rest in peace.

    I would also like to know how to get a copy of this book.

    Regards;
