Zimbabwean lives matter

A chant, far in distance

I will waste no time inscribing a novel upon unstable waters,

The oceans drowning it’s catch.

Lions swallow their pride.

A hooded enemy,

Friend in time of day,

Foe during night,

behind closed doors away from praying eyes.

Women and children weep,

Men die for not a fault committed.

Brothers in arms,

You swore to protect yet,

You gun us down like it’s open season,

Deers in headlights.

An oath,

Words without meaning.

The Regime seat on their hands,

Tails tucked away between their legs, ignorant to the cries of the people.

Cries of pain they inflicted.

You watch us slaughtered like dogs.

Our own,

stealing blood from soil and still sing songs of unity to society and tabloids. Who do you think you are fooling?

You promise democracy,

But when we speak our minds you sort to silence us.

Your blood soaked hands,

claiming to care and caress,

Yet you clip our wings and let us dive into nothingness.

Hands dusted, skeleton secure behind dark corners of your closets.

Buried six feat under,

Only this time the caskets, spiral up, moor, all at once.

Uniting one death after another in a rhythmic streak.

Uniting the living and the dead seeking justice.

we see massacre behind massacre in mirror behind mirror.

True, mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution but force without justice is tyrannical.

Justice delayed is justice denied, free us,

Restore our freedom as deemed fit,

unchained from slavery with justice to turn to freedom without justice.

You bleed and beg before the innocent public to later on crush them under your feet

The common men is like a sleeping lion,

Wake him up and you’ll be torn apart.
