Grandpa Poem by Poet jerrimos mugweni(ZVAVANHUVEVHU)

Grandpa, tell us a story, tell us a folk tale
 Tell us all that you have to tell,  
About William Tell, Robin Hood, and the Jam Bell tale.
Grandpa please tell us a story,  
Tell us how they Liberated our country,
How they mined our Coal, Gold and our precious Ivory.
Tell us so that we can tell others.

What do you want me to tell you,
What exactly do you want me to say,
Do you want me to tell you,
how they enslaved our brothers.
Or how they raped our sisters,  
Do you want me to repeat the same  old Scene.
That no black curfue  will ever  tell,
 How dogs were trained  just to bite us,  
Is that what you want me to tell you? ? ? .
What Propaganda meant in our time,  
At least the level of Corruption was   Low.
The jungle gave birth to a battle field,  
Dangerous animals became our Friends.
Fate from hate, splashed all over  our lands.
There were micro-bacterium  facial Smiles. 
The Heroism  of  one man was uncelebrated.
they used all means  to humiliate us 
Took our  Honour without our Concern.
You brother, became my  Enemy.
And my Enemy, Your Brother. 
Do you still want me to tell you.
do you want me to tell you.? ? ? ? ? ? .

Grandpa  please, just tell us a story.
Tell us anything that a child should know.
Grandpa. Please tell me a story that lasts all night.
Tell me until i say its now allright.
Grandpa please. Juss tell me about slave trade.
. How our fathers were tools of Free labour.
How you escaped from the white man's Prison.
How harsh Mussolini 's Rule was.
How Mao tse Tung started the long March
How Robert G Mugabe ruled Zimbabwe, for 35years.
Grandpa please just tell me a story.
