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......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
