Poem
Ignatius T. Mabasa
America
Let me make love to my mother,Let me make love to my sister
Let me talk about it on TV
And get applause and hugs.
J Lo has a new butt and it’s cool
But she still shits the same shit.
Choice, choice, choice sister
I withdrew from a sperm bank
And I hope I have G. W.’s baby.
Let us mummify our stars
Not just on the star-spangled banner
But our Hollywood stars
In which God do you trust?
Above are the everlasting stars!

Ndisiyei ndiite mai vangu mukadziNdiregei ndirare nehanzvadzi yangu
Ndisiyei ndigozvishambadzira nyika paTV
Vanhu vagondiuchirira nekundirumbidza
J Lo akanogadzirwa, kuti magaro akure
Asi madhodhi aanoita achingori mamwe chete.
Sarudzo, sarudzo, sarudzo mwana wamai
Ndakanotora mbeu yedonor kusperm bank
Dai mwana akangofanana nababa vake!
Ngatisaviga vafa, avo vane mbiri pakati pedu
Idzo nyenyedzi dzedu nedziri pamureza wedu
Kuti rudzi rwedu rurarame nekusingaperi.
Mwari wenyu wamunovimba naye ndeupi?
Nyenyedzi chaidzo dzisingadzime dziri kudenga.
