I’m from a place where you can only be considered a candidate for the presidency if you fought in the struggle for independence.
I’m from a place where you can only be recognised in politics at the age of 40.
I’m from a place where you can only be considered a politician if you are a relative to those who fought in the struggle for independence.
I’m from a place where the government is controlled by a cartel which has no interest in the betterment of the country.
I’m from a place where the people have lost hope in the so-called constitution.
I’m from a place where the government is corrupt like the Angel Lucifer.
I’m from a place where the wise say,
How can we teach the youth that education is the key to success when the educated are poor and criminals are rich?
How do we tell them that crime doesn’t pay when the majority of the rich are criminals?”
Men profit more by the spectacle of a fool than by the speeches of the wise.
I’m from a place where our old president is leading us to the grave.
I’m from the great land of Zimbabwe.
