RALLY OBSERVATIONS

He came in a convoy

Phone use was criminalized

Security maximized

To declare that he fears no jail

He came in a convoy

They screamed,

Ululated

To tell the same old story
He came in a convoy

RUN

If you are innocent avoid the police

They are no longer a police service

Instead, they are a police force

They beat, bash and burn

Button stick first

Questions last

THE DAY OF THE AFRICAN STREET CHILD

I sat to write a different poem

A poem against my style

I sat to write a poem

A poem of love

I stopped to write about hate

The dictator and the bad system

The politics and the corruption

I stopped and reflected on me and them

I saw them walk the streets

With no home

No love

No shelter

No food

No representation

They meander without a cause

They flood the streets

You fear them

You hate them

You don’t even trust them

This poem is for the child on the African streets

When it’s cold like this

When life is tough like this

How do they survive?

Budgets are made

Budgets are presented

Yes the nation budgets

Nothing for the street kids

Spare some love brother

Why break to hearts?

When you can share your love,

with the child on the street?

They are on the streets

We care not for them

They don’t vote

They are Zimbabweans

What rights do they hold?

As we commemorate

The day of the African Child

Let us remember,

Afrika has children on the streets

Afrika has some who sleep with no blankets

No food

No love

No hug

With no one to care

As we commemorate,

Let us remember

Zimbabwe has street kids

Zimbabwe has no budget for the street child

Spare some love

I took some time to write

A different poem

Not my usual style

Where I speak of the man of office,

Who forgets his duties.

I will not speak of the political violence

I will charge on domestic violence

I will not speak of human rights

I will speak of children’s rights

I took sometime

To remember my brothers

And sisters on the streets

Love and let live

Live with love live

Love love to live

Live in love and love

Live to love my loved

Love lives to make live

Streets know no love

Streets know no respect

Peace and love Afrika

Peace and love Zimbabwe

THEY ARE INSPIRED

You look like your father

She looks like her mother

They behave like their parents

These people act like their presidents

Citizens are like children

Their mistakes must be forgiven

They see, they hear, they act

They learn from leadership: fact

If they kill each other

And hate each other

Look at their leader

If they are corrupt

Have no ethics, no respect

Then, look at their leader

If they destroy state property

Survive on treachery

Just look at their leader

Citizens are like children

Their mistakes must be forgiven

They see, they hear, they act

An undisputable fact!
