Poem: THE LATEST
By: Tendai R Mwanaka
Aftermaths of
garbage tossed about, sewage rotting.
Dirty water, empty stomachs,
empty lives, empty beings.
This garden is
a history of
thousands of them.
Political loose canons
living in the exclusive suburbs.
But in the dusty, populated
Budiriro’s streets
Crammed thoughts like bombs are
waiting to explode-
