Evans Gwekwerere Poem by Tinashe Mupedzapasi

Gwekwerere
Evans Gwekwerere
What a hero, but for a season
We were toddlers then
But his name was our soccer anthem
Playing plastic made balls in the streets
We could even fight for his name
Or worse break the friendship for a time
Risking beating by writing his name on our shirts

Gwekwerere
To our disappointment he just vanished
His fame died never to rise again
A king for a season
Who rose from no where just to be forgotten
Who still remember him
Nobody wanna know
