My last prayer

Desmond muzite 2002 (Rusape)



Dear lord it's me the chrestar kneeling down here.
lord lm not going to ask you about all the things that I always ask you everyday but look at how we live in the ghetto a battlefield to us the young ones. look at the chrestars in sakubva, gimboki , odzi, chimanimani  and mbare.

Rich and poor you created them in the same world, you are our God so how can we not help  each other if we were created by the same God well it might be a lie to think that these politians care for us last year Giringo fall sick till he died due to the lack money but did the government took any action.

the rich live on because of their wealth as well as the oppression of the poor but we as poor people make a living from tactics but our services do not match the money we are given sometimes we work until we sweat and then get paid worthless money

About this poem

I think as people we should all try to find out on what's the best in the ghetto. It's not like just best it's a good were thugs live in yes we're thugs depending on how we live but before we say all that there is young people with talents real talent can all those spirit just goes unnoticed
