Flesh Regrets Flash

"Chikuru kufema!"
Thus they all say
Though gasping for air under the soil
Exchanging their souls for a short time
Short time of nothingness and numbness

And you hear them say....
"As long as wandisiya ndirimupenyu!"
What's left of life
When life is now just an empty shell
Only left on display of what it used to be
As the pleasures of now dime the light
Costing the future of the joys held tomorrow

However they justify themselves
"Hapana kusiri kufa!"
When they invite death to dine with them
Hoping to evade its capture
Though distracted by its beauty
While it plunge, its daggers into the depth of the flesh

Only to sing the last song
Sung by most
"Dai ndakaziva!"
As the ground already calls
Ready to be drenched by blood
As the guest flee with your soul
