A political tussle between two people can negatively affect the life of an entire nation. In Zimbabwe President Mugabe has had rough time with the British Prime Minister over the war vetrans' ambush of white settlers. Now President Mugabe is sending a letter to the queen on the occasion of the Valentine Day
My Dear Queen
I am an African President
I am a President/Monarch
I am well above the law
My power is absolute
But my throne is being shaken
Winds of change are blowing harshly
I see the approach of a nasty event
I must avoid the axe from falling
They say step down Mr. President
But I wasn't in power for so long
Only decades elapsed since taking over
Why can’t they give me one more chance?
My Dear Queen
I had a secret with my colonial master
I to stay in power till death strikes upon
He to remain in peace as a white settler
But the guy broke the rules of the game
I saw him changing jackets in the dark
At my backyard I saw opposition dancing
In response I unleashed a wave of terror
Nothing else had gone wrong between us
My Dear Queen
I am not as cruel as papers portray me
My soft heart goes out to you queen
That boy in your house messed up things
I love You Queen.
