Nziyo dzayo ndedzerombo rakabvutwa chirikadzi muLiberia.
Zviratidzo zvaro ndezve dzemhondi dzakaurayiwa nemahara pamadhamu anouraya eGambia
Mifananidzo yaro ndeye yerusununguko inopera mukati mebhomba kuchema muNigeria
Ruzha rwayo nderwehurombo hwakakamurwa mazamu evanamai muEritrea
Kushamisika kwayo inzara inotambudzwa vana muEthiopiya
Hondo yayo ndeyehondo yakakonzera kuti nherera dzicherwe hupfumi uye ramangwana mune marara ekuSomalia
Nhetembo dzangu dzinorwadza

Dambudziko rayo ndeemapaipi emugodhi anoshambadzira zvinhu zvinosemesa mumigwagwa yeZambia
Mifungidziro yaro machete achinyudza matumbu mumipata yeK Katanga
Mifananidzo yaro ndeye yeropa yakaiswa madziro ekutambudzika muTanzania
Esekunyorera kwayo ndeyekuuraya madzinza uye hutsinye mumaruwa eRwanda
Kuziva kwayo ndeye kwevanopfura uye vanouraya muBurundi kutyaira
Nhetembo dzangu dzinorwadza
Kurohwa kwayo ndekwokuputika kwemasarure muSouth Africa
Tsumo yavo ndeye yekuchema kwePovo muZimbabwe
Satire yayo ndeyekuchembera kwemisha muMozambique
Iko kusanzwisisika iko kuchinjanisa kuchinjaniswa kwedhaimani nemariles muAngola
Epitaph yake kufa kwetsika dziri muAlgeria
Nhetembo yangu inorwadza inorwadza uye haina kumbobvira yaita runako
