ZIMBABWE

ZIMBABWE
© Farouk Asvat

The Great Zimbabwe ceases
To be a ruin
In the magnanimity of its love
Forgiving its killers
Remembering its brave guerillas
At Heroes' Acre
Declaring itself in cock crows
Multicolours fluttering in the breeze
Reggae and ShonaNdebele music fusing
Into a new Freedom!
(That doesn't last very long)
