'I am worn out but then so are you, mate!' said the carpet to the fallen Mugabe!

Mugabe was coming back from Ethiopia in what he desperately wanted the whole world to view as in triumph! In fact every time he returns from any trip outside the country, and God knows he is a regular globe-trotter, the regime has bussed in the paid mob to give him a hero's send away and on return another hero's welcome.
The regime is selling them the image of Mugabe the conquering hero complete with the spring chicken make up of jet-black dyed hair. The world's first 90 year old with not a single grey hair or beard; he still sports his Adolf Hitler finger wide moustache and it is jet-black!
The nation is in serious economic meltdown, 90% plus are out of work, 2 million are living in abject poverty, there is no clean running water, etc. The situation is get worse and not better! He rigged the elections to stay in power; the least he should do then is deliver the economic recovery and 2.2 million new jobs he promised. All this gorilla silver-back chest drumming whilst the nation is crumbling into ruins is all so phony and frankly mocking the long suffering public.
If the carpet could speak, it would have told the prostrate Mugabe; "Fcuk! I am worn out but then, so are you, mate! So are you!"
Mugabe's fall has gone viral and Zimbabweans will be laughing at him for months if not years to come because it has been a God sent opportunity for them to give the middle finger salute to a regime that has treated them as if they were stupid and dumb so stupid they would believe Mugabe at 90 still has jet-black hair and is a conquering hero in a never ending war against the British - and who would want a job, clean running water, etc. when there is such Napoleon in flesh and blood to behold and welcome at the airport two or three times a month, at least!
