Mbizo Chirasha Poet Dramatic Verse

Kongo

Kongo

Your past is a mint of blood and tears 
Daughters tearing their way to decay 
Sons castrated by poverty and superguns, 
Kongo, a dream battered and bruised 
Your conscience poliorised by oppressive dance 
Highways clogged with hatred and vendetta 
Gutters donating stench and typhoid 
Kongo, let my poetry feed your withering dreams for guns, insult the tired memories 
Of voters. 
 


  
  
  
  
Kongo
Deine Vergangenheit ist ein Münzwerk von Blut und Tränen 
Töchter die ihren Weg zum Verfall aufreißen 
Söhne, kastriert von Armut und Supergewehren, 
Kongo, ein Traum, mißhandelt und zerschlagen 
Dein Gewissen poliorisiert von unterdrück'rischem Tanz 
Überlandstraßen verstopft von Haß und Aktionen der Rache 
Gossen spenden Gestank und Typhus 
Kongo, laß meine Dichtung deine welkenden Gewehrträume füttern, die müden Erinn'rungen beleidigen - 
der Wähler.
