His hand tightens as it relaxes,
and his power is fed by suffering and taxes.
The terror of his grip,
is squeezing the life out of 'His' people.
While the whole world stands and watches.
He has no shame, no compassion, he has no humanity, no sanity.
It is criminal to allow it to continue,
without some kind of intervention.
Why don't our Governments do something?
Please end the indifference to this crisis.
No one cares about Africa, people so poor they are forced to eat wood.
While we grow ever fatter on all our food.
Mugabe must go, go must he,
to allow Zimbabwe to be free.
To give their children a chance at life.
To have toys, not a gun and a knife.
A chance at life is everyone's right.
To live and to never be afraid.
