Robert Mugabe
Oh lord of stakes,
See how you have fallen;
For you had treaded
Insolently on hapless masses;
Calling a beautiful country your own;
It's people your personal property.
See now how the people
Suffered at your hands;
Visit the graves and witness
The infants and adults
Who died because of strife
And lack of healthcare;
Their lives could have been saved.
You had become a burden sore,
On a peaceful people;
Rendered them paupers of the streets.
Pharaoh drowned with his soldiers;
You drowned on your own,
In a sea of people resolute
To show you their loathe of years on years.
Pharaoh is turning weeping in his grave;
You broke his record of staking
Over people's lives.
Come to think of it,
Not even a tear was dropped over you.
