Reality

This is Zimbabwe
Condemned, trapped between an uncompromising world
Which focuses her with eyes patient?
Patient to the notorious Ian Smith complex
Judged by a “superior world” full of racial intones
And a leadership coercive, subjugated
Greedy for power…thirsting for richness

This is it, for Africans
Swindled and victimised by aliens
Swindled and victims by their own leaders
When is Kingdom coming?
Is God like them?
As the only promise of happiness is in Paradise
Paradise in the Koran, Paradise in the Bible
When is Kingdom coming?
Is God like them?

This is Africa
Led by occults, fought by occults
The difference between hell and hell
Is in the closeness of the fire!
Leaders who show their teeth to their own people, their true masters
Window-dressers who think their roots
When Europe looks at them with reddened eyes
When the alimentary canals of the “Superworld” rejects them

When shall Kingdom come?
Shall Hell and Paradise be on Earth?
Is Africa Hell, and the West Paradise?
