The Angel’s cry for a new revolution


I thought this is what they wanted,
To spread my wings of a pure revolution,
To lit the fires of everlasting tranquil,
To wash away the bitter tales of impure governance,
Yet they have seized my wings and slaughtered my intent.

I thought this is what their souls hungered for,
Me to turn the soils of infertility to a ripe ground,
To cut the roots of unemployment trends,
To blow off the curse of sanctions against me,
Yet they have pulled triggers of death against me.

I, Zimbabwe am capable of renewing a heaven of wealth,
I am an angel - I can wipe away the woe of my economy,
I can uproot the systematic chains of demonic rule,
I can rescue my children from the prison of bloodshed,
But you have stabbed my powers with toxic swords. 

You have abused my shield of glory,
And kidnapped the voice of my cry for a new revolution,
You have stolen the sun of my day,
And darkened the moon of my night.
With terror you have baptized my innocent offspring.

I can rebuild the ruins of this kingdom,
But look, you have shackled my hands with brutal wires,
I can kiss the democratic wounds goodbye,
But look, you have glued my lips with your deceit.
And with smoke, you have choked my uprising. 

You butter my bread with fuel increases,
And you burn my skin with useless currency,
You deepen my hurt with a collapsing economy,
And you shower my children with boiling rain of poverty,
You, the head of this land are to blame for my fall.

Opinion piece: Ancestral worship is a fallacy

Ancestral Worship is a shameful fallacy By Blessing Mhlanga We cannot speak to the dead and there’s no such thing as the living-dead. Rituals involving animal slaughter, sprinkling of blood, drinking of concoction, talking to a dead person on their grave and consulting a sangoma for intervention is a spiritual deception that has enslaved the african people. For me personally, I am extremely ashamed and disgusted by my fellow black people who believe that a dead person has an influence on their failures or prosperity in their lives. Some cultures even believe that the dead are a mediator between God and the living; it’s a shame because they have forgotten that God is the creator of all men and he doesn’t need a human being whom he created to be a mediator to those who are living. According to Truth Magazine article, ‘if you displease the ancestors, it may be that they will kill someone else.’ This doesn’t make sense, why would my ancestors, who were somehow...

A toxic modernisation

A toxic modernization If you don’t have that thing, I’m afraid vosho is not your fan. If you can’t lit your dreams, Then not even your blesser can make you feel acer. I have come to know that slay queens are pay keys of myth, who are fancy yet too poor to afford a lace.  I prefer a mellow-bone than a yellow-born who is an angel of booze, a god of twerk and a slave of g-string. It’s better to fill up the dome than to feel like a dom kop, whose calibre emerge from ama-wololo.  I’m telling you, not even gobis’qolo, can...

The struggle against the shadows

-
The struggle against the shadows It's a struggle l always wish was a dream, One that l don't desire to escape either, In a blink of a lazy eye, waters taste bitter, With its source  hiding in the unknown universe, Lonely hills and virgin skies, who can contest? Beneath his waving beard, Lies a tale, one that his blood is willing to conceal, Fleshy thighs, dreamy eyes, it's a time ticking bomb, A thin skin tempts the divine to fall, But still upholds the toxic falls of our foes. Wake up from the deadly sigh, Perhaps you might stand the test of slumber, One that recruit the haughty to rule, One that condemns the innocent visage of us, And feed our lambs withered leaves of the fallen. Perhaps the drivers of our promise have been caged, Chained or brutalized by the modern appalls, If so, woes shall overflow in our children's basket, And Rob them of their wings to cruise above the sky, It's a mountain that we have discounted to level.
