Ode to Prime Minister Ian Smith. - Signed: Black Man in Canada, the sad night we witnessed Ian Smiths passing. I didnt go to a first class school in Rhodesia, yet Rhodesia gave me a first class education. I had no right then to vote in Rhodesia, yet Zimbabwe gave me the right to vote for a devil. I was brought up to hate you Smithy , while young, but as a man I grew up to hate your Enemy. I believed that Rhodesia would never have black rule, but I can now. I will never live under a Zimbabwean fool. Im not white and never took you to be my PM then, but Im black and would rather have had you as my PM now! You were right and had to leave your government, yet I was wrong and left my beloved country. I am not a poet, but these are my thoughts. I am proud of what I have become, yet you are the man who made me what I am! On behalf of the many black faces who dare not say, if ever you were hated, you are missed today. The only PM we should have kept!
