Nyanga
Nyanga
The murder capital
Divine space for criminals
A place where Jesus sleeps
And Satan recruits
Churches are lifeless
While taverns flourish
Drug lords are praised
Young girls get raped
And fatherless babies are raised
Thugs hip and hop to siren sounds
While police chase shadows at night
Gastric juices breakdown positive thought
And poverty steals dreams
Brain self-destruct
Gory thoughts construct
And Gun powder rapidly spreads
While the light at the end of the tunnel slowly disappears
Government croons a still tune
In numbers learners dropout of school
Back yard dwellers homes exist in their dreams
Because Urbanisation vehicle brings merciless thieves from the East......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
