By Mwalimu George Ngwane
Mugabe is a tyrant
He has rigged elections
And decimated his people
He has overstayed his heroic welcome
And become too senile to govern
CNN, the song is already stale
Morgan is the messiah
He is the people's saviour
And the drum major for change
He is persecuted by the regime
For being a puppet of the West
BBC, we have heard it before
Zimbabweans are dying of AIDS
The people are dying of famine
Inflation is skyrocketing every hour
The citizens are migrating in droves
Even the farms they cannot manage
Skye News, this is no more news
A government of National Unity may never unite
A society of ideological diversity may do the trick
Wherein Britain revisits the Lancaster of 1979
Wherein the "International Community" lifts the sanctions in 2009
And Mugabe bows out in 2013
This may be the new song
For it is time for a national Indaba
Time for the Fourth Chimurenga
Where the songs of uhuru
Shall strike the chords of ubuntu
Others have, Zimbabwe can
Only if we all sing the new song with a bang
