Ancient
as the pyramids,
and once pure
as a virgin
untainted,
unadulterated,
undeflied,
and once free to be
whatever the heavens ordained.
Now,
captivated and trodden on
by foreign dictorship,
and engulfed with restlessness.

The boom of bombs,
the staccato stutter of hand guns,
the acid grip of AIDS,
the sunrise lamentations,
the sunset hell,
the tortured wails
of Mother Nature writhing
cursed by hands of modernity,
and trample underfoot
by the future.

Zimbabwe
I can feel
how haunting
daunting
it is to be mistreated
this way
day after day,
but
be not afraid
of security forces,
pro-government supporters,
unknown sources,
vampires in the night!

Vindicate!
Orchestrate!
Penetrate!
ur DEMOCRATIC VOICE,
an ur celestial vision
against
the murders
rapes
starvations
diseases
violence,
and general misrule
abuse
misuse
surrounded by the sad contentment
of civilized progress
anxious to maintain
it's hegemony of coercion
and fresh bloodstains.

Zimbabwe
rise up in ur millions
to liberate,
Illuminate,
demostrate
ur upmost disapproval
for another South Africa,
continue
to SHOUT!
SCREAM!
CALL!
al ur children
from their geographic locations
to join u
in the tribal dance
and ritual of death to evilness
to resist
political oppression,
and the rape
of ur constitutional right
to fight the plight
of the roque regime
that yearns to destroy u.

Zimbabwe
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
of the INJUSTICE done to u
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
NO FORCE IS STRONGER AN U!
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
save ur children
from the invaders
who proclaim a propaganda
so unrepentant
in it's disdain
action against ur presence
that only it's death
can prophetic foretell
ur entire existence.
