The Chronicles Of Zimbabwe Poem by Tinashe Mupedzapasi

Are not all their works written in the book of chronicles
The massacre in matebeleland when justice was wrought with a smoking iron
Gukurahundi, murambatsvina, were not homes crushed
And the poor left homeless
2008, should I mention or spare you a sour memory
Rex Nhongo, Itai Dzamara maybe I should start with Tongogara And Chitepo
Should I lament over the 15 Billion that vanished
Or Millions of carats of Chiyadzwa diamonds
Who remembers a series of deaths by military trucks
Acts unjustified all written in our memories
I cant tell them all, but we know them all
Even the fruitless battle for change by the opposition
After saying it all we then talk of Doctor Grace
How many interface rallies just to torment the hearts of many
Don't you think i have forgotten chipangano
Innocent souls did perish for naught
And today we turn over a new page
The end of a 37 year ruling streak
The beginning of change, an era of confusion
The military has taken over the rule
Is that all not written in the book of chronicles
