Ode to the Charade: Zimbabwe

A sham, bloody deception,
The bounding, white army chanted.

Undemocratic, unparalleled injustice,
The tardy (nay, tacky), black army chorused.

Unrivalled travesty, perfect ambiguity,
The International community whimpered.

But the black man stood, ‘unstung’,
The virulent words falling on ‘barren’ ears.

“Keep your noises to yourselves,”
He advised the white and black alike.

The bandying of coloured words ensued,
All parties pulling the frayed reins.

Just before the snap of the frayed joints,
The black man cleared his throat:

“If you deem yourselves clean enough,
Be the first one to throw the stone!”

The white and black armies exchanged glances,
And voluntarily retreated to their hovels.

I applaud Mugabe on taking farm land back from the whites. The outcry there right now whs not there when the initial owners of the land were shot off their land and their women raped, and rendered squatters in their own land. Nah, let the whites scream hoarse dear africans, like they did with Myanmar. Only there can whites have courage to come and take land like that and then scream hoarse when it is rightfully grabbed back from their thieving hands and back to the original owners.
With much love from Malays!
