Brought Down by His Wife, President Mugabe
By Taban Abel Aguek, Yirol, South Sudan
–
Hurt by his wife, Grace
King Robert has nothing more to brace;
He fell from grace to one Grace to grass
Just like a little feeble lass.
–
King Robert is now all but disgraced,
His legacy is all but deeply defaced,
He has shifted away from hero.
Now he is reading zero.
–
Will his void be easy to replace?
And in history doesn’t he have a place?
King Robert charisma and charm’s unchallengeable
His wit, strength and determination unquestionable
–
So, he remains a hero
One that simply drifted to zero
By refusing the spirit of Mandela-ism
And rather believing in totalitarianism.
–
Then there is this irony
This that of character-felony:
Same hands that built dictators,
Become the celebrated liberators.
