A Letter To My Mugabe

Uncle Roo I forgot to celebrate your 89TH Birthday but as you turn 90 May be i will Some how for the some reasons You know it Gaddafi Is dead 'king of kings' who died like a mole in a hole Was he buried in the sea or space? Wise one i believe you know Amin Is dead dead 'The king of Scotland' Fell from his monarchy Butcher of black Far from black is buried Mubutu Sese seko dead dead dead 'The leopard king In the jungles of Zaire Buried like a fox Rests in peace? Like Charles Taylor The deer of Africa Breathed and went breathless In the cage He shies away always Now Mandela sleeps The true son of Africa Not a king but a son Our Mandela Our Tata Is gone Son who wasn't a king A son you become a father Mandela stands even when he sleeps Sons stand Kings fall My Mugabe Will you stand or fall?
