Who doesn't like it
Panashe Chigwedere 2000 (Harare)
Who doesn't like it?
Everybody likes it
Even I and myself
Chiefs , kings , Presidents, they like it
Mothers and fathers they really like it ,
Bishops, pastors, teachers , doctors they like it too
Who exactly doesn't like it?
If all of us like it , how come you, you don't like it ,
Everybody likes it because it brings joy , when you have it , you are the king to be respected,
Whenever I hear about it ,I smile ,
Whenever I have it , honestly I enjoy it
Not all people have it , some tried hard to get it,But they couldn't find it .
Many died trying to grab it ,
Some lost their beloved ones because of it .
If you have it , you have the power
It rules
It gives freedom
Joy and contentment
It is essential.
Who doesn't like it
Despite the fact that sometimes it creates a host of problems,
Despite the fact that sometimes it isolates us ,leads to disagreement.
Everybody likes it like that
