Of Policies And Capacities - Ndaba Sibanda

This economy has whiskey
how can it be so drunk and risky?

the poor say the prognosis is easy
for this country has a terrible leprosy

termites and maggots of corruption
and governance constitute its destruction

police please arrest someone willy-nilly
for intoxicating this economy silly

policies please be competitive
for the businesspeople are restive

there is need for industrial production
as much as there is noise about indigenization

no direct investment as the economy is very weak

the country’s prospects of economic recovery are bleak

a show of lack of confidence in the leadership and its policies
returns on investment against declining mental and physical capacities

Ndaba Sibanda (20th century) Zimbabwe
