Dance
Dance your anger and your joys,
Dance the military guns to silence,
Dance oppression and injustice to death,
Dance my people.

Whew. This really resonates with me. I have tears in my eyes (not unusual reading Zimbabwe blogs).
I was so depressed earlier, reading an article on Zimbabwe Situation from an organisation which claimed to be organising a military response to ZANU-PF, from within the present armed forces. As South Africans, we have seen the moral and spiritual corruption which comes with that route – from Operation Vula to the arms deal.
Of course, there are no answers. Maybe Zimbabwe will have to go that way and fight all over again, with guns and missiles and bombs. I don’t know. I’m not there. When I read of what has been done, what is being done every day in Zimbabwe, I also sometimes want the perpetrators all dead and I don’t care how.
All I can do is salute with all my heart, the people who find a way to dance oppression and justice to death. Respect, Zimbabwe. God bless.
