A zany Zimbalist from Zimbabwe
Stopped me on Calcutta Road with a, “hey!”
We are not the same
For I am quite tame
I liked the fact he was merry and gay.

In Zimbabwe you may think life is rough
A land where empty is enough
Remember the rule
Sell your car to buy fuel
To the first world this may seem rather tough

An elephant in Zimbabwe
Hi-fived with a soft trunky sway.
Then wanting to play
She continued her day
With a hug for the human who waved.

I skated holding onto the tail of a jet stream today.
We went to Dubai, Zimbabwe Omaha and Bombay.
I got back before lunch before my mother could say
Where have you been child? In the yard you must stay!

This mordant assignment
Is my nemesis with physical insult-
My venerated assailant
Famed for making life difficult!

I ask of the desert dunes,
The stately Kilmanjaro, the
Mambilla outcrops;
I ask of the great forests
The seven old rivers
Snaking through my black
homeland;
I ask of the noble rains,
Every ancient observer;
Does it matter who built the
Old Zimbabwe
When we feed not today
Our hungry hordes?

Jacks are played in Israel.
Jacks are played in Spain.
Jacks are played in Texas
And in the Florida rain.
Jacks are played in Korea
And played by kids like us.
Jacks are played in Hawaii.
Stop making all that fuss!
Jacks are played in Singapore.
Somalia and Zimbabwe too.
Jacks are played in Trinidad.
And probably Timbuktu.

Zimbabwe
From shimmering oil
of ebony still
will come flailing of limbs
will come hacking
quick slashing
of hands now untied
tattooing no pattern
not even a maze
depriving gray walls
of their stone
will come spittle
wild churning rivers
agush from slack jaws
of blanching gray hounds
till one day at dawn
will come quiet

Z ulus and Shonas possess the lands
I ndependence placed it in their hands
M ugabe dictates his corrupt demands
B abies starve in the streets eating out of empty cans
A ids is rife amongst women and man reducing their life spans
B eautiful country reduced to desert sands
W eeping nation paying with every drop of sweat from their glands
E ternity it feels as they are slaves with new brands

Am battling myself
Fighting my thoughts
Trying to get things right
Regretting my past
Am on a depression
Can't see the future
Am doomed
pending catastrophe
Its too dark
They is no sign of light
The way is thorny
And am on foot
I can't take a step
Am stack in the middle of Norway
Am confused
Am lost
Will never be found again
They is cries every where
Am Zimbabwe
And I will raise again

It is better to choose to stay with a rate.
It is better am still breathe.
It is better I choose to stay forest with wild animals.
It is better am still alive.
Drought come to me.
In my Zimbabwe.
My tear flow.
River of Limpopo start to flow.
The crocodile and fish start to laugh.
This dam of my tears makes frogs and hippos happy.
My blood bleeding.
That's why I shrink like a new born.

Arts
Would you have a long nose
For Arts such as prose
Not least the vim in poetry
That erupts in symmetry
Expressing a long story
So succinct and so flowery
Like a serenade or music
For waning Hearts so sick
Yet, Arts pretty or unusual
Are arts that are visual....
Should Arts stand to unite,
You will see the World ignite!!
***Inspired by the resplendent Rhyme in Zimbabwe Urban Grooves which have taken music to a more quintessential level.
