The day before yesterday <br />they dealt with the terminally ill to free the hospitals. <br />Yesterday, <br />they dealt with those who did not contribute to the economy. <br />Today, <br />they dealt with those who oppose the government. <br />Tomorrow, <br />they will deal with those who have heard of a better life. <br />Next week, <br />do not be surprised at the truck <br />with bloodstains on its tailboard <br />at your gate tooting its impatient horn.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zimbabwe-an-echo/
