(Poetry) GREEDY BEES

By George Ngwane

Beautiful Garden!
Bright flowers that glitter like gem
Rich nectar for all and sundry
Round poplars that sparkle life gold
Buzz, buzz, buzz, they come in swarms
Buzzing and jostling just for one nectar
Crushing our haven in their greed
Killing the fruits of tomorrow’s generation
Beautiful Garden?

(Poetry) BORN AGAIN

 By George Ngwane

 

If I were to be born again

I would tell the world to stop moving

And ask mankind to start thinking

 

If I were to be born again

I would ask the North to stop lying

And tell the South to start working

 

If I were to be born again

I would pray my God to make me black

And cleanse my heart from thoughts so dark

 

If I were to be born again

I would ask my neighbour to love his neighbour

And neither should say it is a favour

 

If I were to be born again

I would climb the mountain and preach fraternity

In this sinful world void of humanity

 

If I went to be born again

Zimbabwe’s New Song - A Poem

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
