Zimbabwe 2016 Poem by Terry Dawson
Zimbabwe 2016
Rating: ★3.5
Our poverty now is absolute,
Rotting garbage lies about
And flies infest this land.
The last remaining coping plan is made,
Beyond it looms the void.
Our bloated leaders wine and dine and laugh
And flaunt their wealth and plot new plunder.
And we the ruled despair:
The options now to lay down and die... or rise.
