Zimbabwe: Popular New Song encourages Revolution by Jan Lamprecht
[Songs are very important in Africa. The Liberation Movements used songs to communicate serious political messages. The words of this song encourage people to stop waiting for change because change will never come (I agree). It encourages action now.
So to me, this is another sign that people are sick to death of the ILLEGAL Mugabe Regime which has stolen all the elections since 2000. People are giving up hope. But they can get hope again - through their own ACTION.
The only hope now lies in ACTION. I am delighted by this.
I hope that the CIA and MI6 agencies will take note of this song and actually help to arm these people. After all they are giving money to the MDC already, so they can just as well help the Zimbabweans to create an armed wing. Unfortunately, both the CIA and MI6 are completely pathetic when it comes to taking action in Zimbabwe. They seem to be brain-dead when it comes to Zim.
The only thing I can think of is for all Zimbabwean expatriates - there are hundreds of thousands of them in Britain alone - along with American and British citizens - should write letters to their Government, and better still, directly to the CIA or to MI6 HQ and actually request financial and military assistance for the Zimbabweans.
I'm all in favour of Zimbabweans getting up and running Mugabe and his cretins out of office. But you can't expect people to fight against machine-guns and tanks with their bare hands. Its all nice and romantic, but in reality, it really can't work. They need more than pitch-forks in order to save themselves. With rudimentary military weapons they could win. If they were armed, with AK47's alone - they could take Mugabe.
I'm sure that both Britain and the USA have vast amounts of Russian weaponry captured from their ops in the Middle East. If they could divert that to Zimbabwe, then the Zimbabweans can save themselves and one of the most evil men in the world could be removed from power.
I believe that if a successful Armed wing could be started, that you would see people flocking to it by the hundreds of thousands - even millions. And I am sure even white people who left Zimbabwe would find a way to return to fight. This is one fight, where Blacks and Whites would happily stand by each other and fight this bastard to the death. Of that, I am certain.

Rise
Come near me, hear me, take a little time to stare me in the eyes, and realise this current state of hate wont wait for the change from another life. So lift your hands and understand this land though dry just needs your tears and cries, when every back that is broken has spoken, the angel awoken, bring kings of another time.
Backbeat the word is on the street, that the fires in our hearts are out, but battered and bruised people never choose to shout out unless their own lives feel the blues. Whose shoes do you wear when you stare, with your diplomatic airs, cos I don't care for statements, things won't ease with a press release. And the man on the street can't eat the pretense.
Fence me in but don't begin to deny - that as time slips by you grow a little tired of the same old issues, longer food queues the way you live a poor and lonely life. An eye for an eye but what if the enemy's blind and has no heart or mind, you gotta fight with your head instead, forget your reddened past you left behind.
No matter what result the cult will quote the vote is soaked in years of tears streaming out the eyes of a people trying to rise just to realise they're dreaming of freedom if even the price is too high to justify the next child that dies, next prison cell cries, the way to stop or start the very motherland's heart, but you can be a part and face the fear in your eyes ... its time to rise.
