Transition

Transition 

A grandson of the revolution of late 90s
The progeny bored in evolution the 21st 
Dynamic spells the prospectives of son's
Daughter's of soil. Mwana wevhu stunga.

Deep thoughts from within depths, ours
Guts inflamed by the political ulceration
From the roots of revolutionary liberties
That was spelt far from a distant, tsunga

Tangenhamo was all the comrade voted
Rugare then never did he rendered, and
To out my grif was indeed a taboo craft
Dilemmas I to have embraced in distress. 

The thoughts kept going on and on, an
Expedition in nous that bore no potency
No power was for the people by people
And kinship spelt breached by the odds

More misery kept cascading in and in, a
Day spelt years not that I was in chains
But bondage was all my grandpa's grant
Not that I was a slave but I endured more

Persistence and resilience became mine
Remedies in the 2002 era, Fast tracking
Hyper inflation, Corruption, Destruction,
Followed the walls brought down, tsunga

Inclusively the struggle was ablaze, spelt
A ceaseless brawl, brother's got lashed
Sister turned an Orangutan, savages of
That phases and never time did awaited. 

The process of shaking the old horses
For the new ones became a grandeur so
Rinsed that bored detention by the blue
Suited brother with grey topped shirts...

Till today a brilliant beam shade off the
Darkness from a new dawn, Drawn from
The proficient past. Is it the same notion
In motion to embrace. Rugare or tsunga.

How I would love to embrace the phrase
Tangenhamo, Manifestations of Rugare
In this era spelt a new dispensation by
Those learneds  on the stratagem apex.

If only the sentiment of democracy will
Be driven forth by the elites and those
Whom sits in the parliaments then I will
Embrace the old foster in the new era...

To welcome once again my kinship that
Has been crushed alike a crunch bargain.
And no more manifestos and speeches
Promises meant be broken. Rugare huya
