the nation waited in anticipation
for the larger than life character
for years he had evaded the triumvirate
of peter walls, ian smith and ken flower
giving the masters sleepless nights
that settler empire had crumbled
crumbled like sand castles in a tide
a dark dank cloud enveloped the nation
that anticipation turned into grief
everyone engulfed by waves of disbelief
the many questions asked then
the deluge of questions still asked today
that dark dank cloud is here
the nation in the steel talons of pain
questioning even the sanctity of life
yet another event shrouded in mystery
a nation in a cyclone of questions
a nation at the end of a tether
