I would have been celebrating you

Robert Gabriel Mugabe,

But I won't

'Cause your good deeds

Evaporated in the heat

Of your greedy cling to power.

You let the allure of power

To lure you away

From the ideals you fought for

In the days of your youth.

From the hall of fame

You walked into the hall of shame

And refused to walk back

To where you came from.

You came as a revolutionary,

Now

You depart as a reactionary,

Good riddance.

Shhh! 

Quiet!

I speak Ill of the dead

Whose ills ail society.
