A Poem by Shepherd Mandhlazi

A loud knock
2 am
Someone is at the door
Says the wife.
Listen
Says the husband
Go to your mother's,
Contact Ndlovu
He will....
What are you talking about
Asks the wife
Listen
Says the husband
Ndlovu will smuggle  you to South Africa.
It's just a knock
Says the wife
It's not just a knock
Says the husband
Reuben Barwe heard me say,
It's all Mugabe's fault.
