I will tell them back in Rhodesia
that the wazungus who called themselves Superiors
who barked orders and strode around like Atlas
who took all from us because we didn't know better
who lived on the hills and never came to the shanty
who ate with silver cutlery on silver plates
and drove in cars that shone like gold
that those wazungus are cheap common liars
where I live among in their towns
they are ***** unwashed and miserable
they don't have money, steal like pikins in the shanties
they even envy us who have made it in their town
they are reduce to harassing and hounding us like street dogs
imagine a wazungu now having the time to do this
they are not all educated, infact most don't go to University
they still drink and talk *******
now they are all mostly common lot struggling in buses and queues
wearing jeans all the time, some beg for money on street corners
like the boys from Kakatoya used to do
Remember them wazungu, so principled and incorruptible
it was all a facade, they are liars, cheats, unpleasant, conniving
corrupt-able, indiscipline, unthinking, thuggish, hooliganistic louts
I wish granpa could see them and what they really are like
he used to wash and iron his suit six times to go to see Mr Ponce
the tobacco Merchant at Sanagogo Trading Post.
They're still racist and ignorant but its done underhand now
They will pick on successful conscious blacks and say they are greedy,
can you imagine wazungu who took all from us saying this
and they say its a revolution, that black man is taking from poor
they call it revolution....hahahaha....I know  you are laughing now
Ah, this is serious matter, you won't believe...
Lets talk again soon....Stay away from Federal Palace Hotel
not a good place for a black man...they destroy them there..
even if you are a paid guest....
