I admire you
Special tribute to the people of Zimbabwe
I know of a country,
That shines above the tallest buildings and the highest mountains,
I know of a country that did the unthinkable,
A coup with no blood shed,
I know of a country
That had a coup where a sitting president was treated like a sitting a president with dignity and respect,
I know of a country,
Where the old and the young came together from all walks of life with their differences set aside,
I know of a country,
That policed themselves and marched in the streets in solidarity with a simple wish that was rooted and justified from many years of suffering,
I know of a country,
That wished for a new day, and a new leadership with a new perspective,
I know of a country,
That went through severe poverty, social and economic injustice,
I know of a country,
That had every reason to pick up guns and redefine their future,
But they didn’t. They couldn’t!
For that’s not who they are.
I know of a country,
That is so peaceful, so loving, and so full of class.
I know of a country,
That defines resilience better than a rubber band,
I know of a country
That went to a bank to withdraw their own hard earned money and there was no money in the bank,
I know of a country
That was and is so educated and full of natural resources, and yet there are NO jobs for its own people,
I know of a country,
That wasn’t paid for their work, and the rich got richer at the expense of the poor.
I know of a country,
That had no healthcare infrastructure to take care of its own people when in need.
I know of a country,
That loves and welcomes all people from different nations, ethnic and religious backgrounds,
I know of a country
With the people I will forever admire, the people of Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is a beautiful country, rich in natural resources and hardworking people. Boasting the stately majestic Victoria Falls, magnificent wildlife preserves among the most and abundant on the continent, and housing the famous Great Zimbabwe. Through lack of leadership, Zimbabwe suffered an economic crisis that included hyperinflation(2008), shortage money in the banks(2016), and the invention of bond notes(2016). On the 21st of November, 2017, President Robert G. Mugabe resigned from power marking a new era for Zimbabwe.
