Mugabe.
 
  Mugabe is African for Devil
Mugabe means Freedom denied
Zimbabwe now cries for salvation
While the face of democracy hides

Zimbabwe was once a fine nation
where life was assured and enjoyed
but now, only massive inflation
with over eighty per cent unemployed

'Green bomber' militia enforces,
no person can challenge the lie
For the brain-washed 'Green bomber', read 'NAZI'
And still the West turns its blind eye

So why is there no liberation
From the U.S. or Britain or France?
No challenge from the United Nations?
No righteous political stance?

There will soon be a shortage of water
and nothing much grows in her soil
She is rich in minerals and metals and gold
but Zimbabwe, alas,
has no OIL.
