The Rhythm that Rattled him from Power Blessing Tonderai Masenga

The Rhythm that rattled him from Power is a compilation of poems written between 2000 and 2008. The poems are an angry and fearless voice denouncing political maladministration and corruption in Zimbabwe to mention but a few. Zimbabwe has become a nation infected by political syphilis; corruption is now infectious like tuberculosis. Politicians transfer it to bureaucrats. Why bury the dreams of children? Why burn the fertile hopes of mothers? It's all now corruption. The clap of poverty smashes the once rounded faces of villages, while the streets are licking their boils for supper. This ugly image of a country once the honeycomb that dripped with sweet honey is what the voice denounces out of fear.
