6 September 2019

I am saddened  by the death of anyone,
in varying degrees,
even the demise of monsters
and Robert Mugabe was, indeed, a monster,
but his death is the loss of a life,
a life that stretched
from newborn baby, through toddlerhood,
childhood, teenager years, young man,
middle-age, old age
all the way up to ninety-five years,
and, after his very, very last breath,
all that life
is
gone
beyond
recall.
