We are friends
(Mr. Mugabe in the hands of Mr. Blair)

You are socialist
I am labour.
Left -left, centre-left,
We are both midfielders

We are friends

I offend you,
You forgive me.
You offend me,
I punish you.

We are friends

I grab your lands,
You let go.
You want your land back,
Willing buyer, willing seller

We are friends.

I run your life,
You support me.
You want your life back
Democracy time.

I write the rules,
You play the game.
You touch the ball,
I sanction you.

We are friends.

Bimbo,
Dakar, 31st October 2003
