Zimbabwean Trillionaire -Inflation

I am the Zimbabwean Trillionaire(inflation) Oh! Where did they go wrong? Now i am walking as i like in their country I have invited my trusted friends, Billionaire and millionaire All zeroes everywhere, they are trying to cut me off What they dont know is,I am here to stay I am a Zimbabwean Trillionaire, yes I am! I am valueless, so they say Disorder is my order My bestfriend sanctions has secured my stay I am not going anywhere whether you love me or not I am the Zimbabwean Trillionaire Diamonds my worst enemy keeps you all disillusioned All this dollarisation restricts my walk of freedom I am the Zimbabwean Trillionaire I am a Patriot , i am here to stay Zimbabwe is my home for the time being. All hope lost, i hear your cries You hate me and you want me to go But i am also a Zimbabwean now No nation will allow me in I am now Zimbabwean by naturalisation I am a Zimbabwean trillionaire and I am here to stay.

In my country they would joke to mama mboga[the grocery seller], "if you want to be a trillionaire go to Zimbambwe." anyway, Tawona, your poem is a celebration of patriotism. You can't run away from your mother coz she has mud-laced hands...
