Eheee, nyika ino ine zvainotakura… Vamwe vanochema misodzi ichionekwa, Vamwe vanochema mukati memoyo… Murume akanyarara hazvirevi kuti haana marwadzo. Mukoma, uri bho here?
Mangwanani anomuka zuva risati rabuda, Achitsvaga chokuuya nacho kumba kwake. Mumba mune vana vakamirira chikafu, Mudzimai achitarisira kuti zvinhu zvichanaka. Rent iri kugogodza, muridzi wemba afona, School fees dzavana dzava kuda kubhadharwa. Fuel yakwira, mari yacho haikwani, Asi mangwana anofanira kumuka achienda kubasa. Anoseka neshamwari achiti, “Ndiri bho,” Asi mumoyo make mune dutu risinganyarari. Husiku anotarisa denga asingakotsiri, Achibvunza kuti, “Ishe, mangwana ndichararama sei?”
Mukoma, muri bho here? Ndiani anobvunza kuti muri kunzwa sei? Munotakura nyika pamapfudzi enyu, Asi ndiani anotakura imi kana maneta? Murume haasi dombo, ane moyo unochemawo, Ane marwadzo akavigwa pasi pemunyemwerero. Mukoma, muri bho here?
Mumigwagwa yeguta unovaona vachimhanya, Vachitsvaga purofiti kuti vana vadzidze. Vamwe vasingadyi masikati kuti vana vagute, Vachitsungirira zvirwere nezvirwere zvinovashungurudza. Vanoshanda zvakaoma nekuda kwerudo, Rudo rwe mhuri rwavapa simba rekuenderera. Kana zvinhu zvakaoma vanozvichengeta mukati, Vachitya kuratidza kusimba rine makatsemuka. Asi shungu dziri pamoyo dzinoda kunzwisiswa, Ndiwe hako gamba riri muhondo yezuva nezuva.
Mukoma, muri bho here? Ndiani anobvunza kuti muri kunzwa sei? Munotakura nyika pamapfudzi enyu, Asi ndiani anotakura imi kana maneta? Murume haasi dombo, ane moyo unochemawo, Ane marwadzo akavigwa pasi pemunyemwerero. Mukoma, muri bho here?
Zvakakosha kutaura, zvakakosha kugoverana. Haugone kutakura nyika uri wega, Mukoma. Rega mhepo ipepereze zvinokuremera, Isu tiri pano, tiri pamwe chete. Usanyara, usatye, uri munhuwo unonzwa, Kuremekedzwa kwako hakushaikwi munyika muno.
Zuva richabuda patsva, rimwe zuva richapfuura, Hupenyu huchadzoka huchikupawo mufaro. Usatenda kuti uri wega murwendo urwu, Tese tiri muhondo imwe cheteyo. Dzika mweya, simba richadzoka nemwaranzi yezuva, Zvinhu zvichanaka, ramba uchienda mberi. Uye usakanganwe kutenda nekumuka, Nekuti mangwana ane tariro yakamirira iwe.
Mukoma, muri bho here? Ndiani anobvunza kuti muri kunzwa sei? Munotakura nyika pamapfudzi enyu, Asi ndiani anotakura imi kana maneta? Murume haasi dombo, ane moyo unochemawo, Ane marwadzo akavigwa pasi pemunyemwerero. Mukoma, muri bho here?
Ehe, ramba uchienda… Mwari vanokuchengeta. Imi varume, muri mbiru dzenyika ino. Simbai, mukoma. Simbai… Zvichanaka chete.
