Title: Black Man's Life Title: let us pretend without warning Title: When idiots take the reins.
Poet: Andy Kahari Poet: Nyashadzashe Chikumbu 'svovanepasi' Poet: Patrick Hwande

A black man's poem let us pretend month end When idiots take the reins,
Is a sad line to read is mid-month Blood flows and drowns hope,
A bad alliteration adrift of a metre drifting home that the change whistling Leaving us embracing doom and gloom.
Echoing rhymes of hunger and claw finger to the tune of air When idiots take the reins,
Frozen hands to platters of life in your pocket Vampires brew brouhaha,
Dust fingering verses is ancient music of goldmines Baying for human blood and flesh,
In sand storms of windy lives in the stillness of the night. Making our lives nightmarish.
A black man's life let us pretend that hope When idiots take the reins,
Is a line of a life not so easy is the face of your grandmother Political dinosaurs never hang the boots,
Nothing ever curved in mercy moments before The foxy become millionaires,
All so very messy she breaks your brittle bones As diligent bees resort to begging.
To be born into slavery in a hug. When idiots take the reins,
And sold into bravery or better, let us pretend the bank Dare cry for more, and you are deemed
The ever fight for what is his is the end of a rainbow Oliver Twist who richly deserves a raw deal.

tion the cheque she is checking When idiots take the reins.
A lucent addiction to dictators is a pot of gold, without the taxes Today a cow is equal to a donkey,
A loose stoned hope or funeral policy deductions, When idiots take the reins,
In polluted lines from oppressors that the cheque But tomorrow a single cow fetches a thou-
Who work him twice of twice as hard is not a dirty stain of royalties sand donkeys!
In hands crapuloused in twine and illicit wine starved on dotted lines. Bees in lands yonder make honey,
Oh Black man's life that you might, just might And import smiles on withered faces,
When will you staid gird verses live long enough But the idiots love to hate the bees,
Not bullet vest gates to hatred to write that poem with enough The bees' legitimate cry for recognition,
When will you awaken new poets royalties to buy life Is misconstrued as mumbo jumbo,
Not portraits of ignorance insurance When idiots take the reins.
When will you be a poem instead of investing in your Sure, when idiots rule the roost,
Not a point man in rhythms of calamitous death with spare change. Happiness faces extinction,

The arrival of Dave Houghton
as Zimbabwe’s head coach in June
has changed team priorities and
goal-setting in terms of how players
perceive themselves, how they ap-

the opposition.

But the bold selections have to

eyes will be on the chosen 15 players

Madande. Their talents are obvious,
and they are young, in their early
20s. But Shumba is walking back
into the side straight from injury,
and Madande is capped just once in
each of the two shorter formats of
the game.

Shumba in particular will look
to exert himself more following his
