You can tell by a pale shadow of former self And shape of the scattered pieces You can tell , From the pieces of the once bread basket of Africa That someone is slowly And artistically looting the store
I can see, The trailing blood and the aura of warmth That there was once, Electrical pulse of the heart As povo cry, For broad-based and inclusive Dialogue to rescue, Yes! I could hear,increasing calls for precipice And wails to avert further implosion
And the winds of memory floating by The crescendo in the calls for sound talks Yes sound dialogue, In the wake of an increasingly restless citizenry struggles
Still dustbin of a golden history You can sense from the tremble of the chambers The undying pulse and the scent of a beloved That the heart once danced to a dreamers' beats
To them tears are, The horse pipes they use to water their worth To multitudes,tears are words the heart can’t express As the black cloud sheds rays of hope Still leaves “imminent light” behind
As the mass bank hope In our eternal message of hope Ushered by Martin Luther King, Jr. "One day dawn will come".
I can see traceable traces Of corrupt foot prints And traceable track record Of 'prominent' looting finger prints
As the influential turn aside the needy from justice, Rob the poor Chimanimani people of their right, Making widows their spoil, And *****-nilly making the fatherless their prey!
Dear LORD! Why your wrath upsets not these moral monsters? Who are by no means worthy of following Those that deprive the afflicted Those who because of their hard and impenitent hearts Attract your necessary reaction to objective moral ill
Dear Lord why has your wrath not fallen On rightful time? How can hell be just?
