They Poem by Simbarashe Raymond Mudukuti

I'm 3 cigarettes short from buying the whole pack
But the money is just enough to buy 9 fags
Funny isn't it
So what are these fat pigs doing besides stealing my future?
They are more like in an acquisition competition among themselves
How do I know?
Pretty obvious, look at their children's lavish lifestyles
Those piglets ain't ashamed to show it off
I don't see no one building my country
Do I have to talk about how he posthumously described how they were stealing everything for themselves?
Don't tell me about how many companies he owns
His into this, his into that
His main business is stealing from our poverty-stricken wallets
Stealing our future and investing it in his kids
Talk about selfishness
Seriously I do not know when we are going to realize that this is treachery
Stealing our future yet we smile at them
Of cause we do, they have the barrels pointed straight to our faces

I'm saying justice prolonged is no different from justice denied
Do we have to talk about that other boy who mysteriously disappeared?
What about the abductions
All I know is if they get to know about my writing then I'm toast
I would have fed myself to the dogs, the wolves
They will destroy my children's children's future
This is a risk
I might destroy my generation because of my aerated mind-set
Can we live in such a country?
Where you have "freedom"
Yes in quotes
Funny how they still defend themselves saying hard times have hit world over
Coming from a learned person it's absurd
Even a blind man seating at the corner of a round table can tell that the dogs are in charge
And they are the dogs
If I call them dogs I would have façade them
My country has gone to the hyenas and they are cannibalizing each other
Cry my beloved country, cry
I'm no prophet of doom but the future is blunt
Failed state, oh God please NO
Not another Venezuela
