Zimbabwean lives matter

August 4, 2020

Will you take that pain

Will you wash it all away

my heart is broken into 1 million pieces

shattered

where are we going

does it ever get better?

Is there hope for the future

Zimbabwe

what is this?

is this the freedom we cried for

Is this the independence our forefathers fought for

Drove out the colony only to be harassed by people of the same nationality

where did the love go

bloodshed covers our streets

corruption

What have we become Zimbabwe

Where are we going Zimbabwe

Why have you forsaken your people Zimbabwe
