Cry Beloved Zimbabwe Freedom by Hasani Hasani My name is Hasani Hasani. I am a Zimbabwean man. I have written my poem inspired by the events that took place in Egypt recently where the people toppled the autocrat Hosni Mubarak. I feel that Zimbabweans are in the same situation as their North African brothers. In Zimbabwe we have suffered under the same despotic rule of Robert Mugabe  who has misruled our beloved country for three decades. If the people of Egypt can free themselves from the yoke of authoritarian rule, the same can also be done by us Zimbabweans.It is time to demand our God given rights of freedom. Hasani Hasani Cry Beloved Zimbabwe   You were born out of the raging fire Through blood, sweat and tears Hoping to sow seeds of justice, peace and equality You temporarily produced fruits And you managed to feed Africa Why are you now the begging everywhere?   Zimbabwe liberate yourself from dictatorship Break the yoke of oppression And build the tower of freedom Run away from chaos and confusion And repair your damaged fertile land   Ditch the dictator and appoint a true leader Leave the dirty linen in the rubbish heap And rejuvenate the farming Renew your relations with the world And oust the dictator like Egyptians Yearn for another, era another life.
