Dear Robert Mugabe

Dear Robert Mugabe, those who are not happy with the new government in Zimbabwe can go and hang. If they die, even dogs will not sniff at their corpses.

Dear Robert Mugabe, if you are bitter you can go and hang. Even if you die, we are not going to miss you.

Dear Robert Mugabe, a woman could find you as a diamond and turn you into a stone. Your wife has found you as a diamond but now she has turned you into a stone. So blame yourself for allowing her to use you as her attack pit bull.
Dear Robert Mugabe, there is an Arabic proverb that says, ‘the dogs bark but the caravan moves on.' You are now behaving like a mad dog that is barking at the moving caravan.

But no matter how loud you are barking, the Zimbabwean caravan will never stops moving forward.
So be careful. If you keep on barking for too long, the dust from the caravan might end up filling your mouth, eyes, nose and it would eventually end up suffocating you to death.

Dear Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe is not your wife that you can rule or rape til death.
Dear Robert Mugabe, you are not the only one who fought for Zimbabwe.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you know very well that politics is just an organized and legalized crime where the thieves make their own rules. So don't be a cry baby when you run out of tricks.

Dear Robert Mugabe, even monkeys run out of tricks. So just accept that you will never become the president of Zimbabwe again.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you are not the only one who left his job to join the liberation struggle for Zimbabwe.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you had your time to fight for Zimbabwe. Now it is time for Zimbabwean youths to fight for their country.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you are not the only wise person in Zimbabwe. But you don't want to give other people who are wise a chance. And you have also killed other people who were wise.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you are not the only brave person in Zimbabwe. But you have killed other people who were brave and you don't want to give a chance to others who are also brave.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you are so old that you can't even chase a rat out of the house. Yet you still want to rule for life.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you and your family have stolen enough. Now it is time to give others a chance to rule or to steal as well.

Dear Robert Mugabe, power is sweet, but power without dignity is doomed.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you were toppled by the Zimbabwean army, not a foreign army. So if you were so good, they would have defended you.

Dear Robert Mugabe, was Emmerson only good when he was at your side but not good to be on the throne?

Dear Robert Mugabe, are you not ashamed of yourself that you went from the biblical Moses to a ‘little Pharaoh' or ‘napping Pharaoh'?

Dear Robert Mugabe, is injustice only sweet when you do it to others but bad when it is being done to you?

Dear Robert Mugabe, you are a very lucky despot to get your pensions. Other despots are not so lucky.  

Dear Robert Mugabe, when you resigned the Zimbabwean people didn't cry. But they danced because they were happy.

Dear Robert Mugabe, use your time to write/review your will instead of giving long speeches.  

Dear Robert Mugabe, if you are bored just go in the mountains and take selfies with the baboons.

Dear Robert Mugabe, you are now old bones. But nobody is immortal. So when your time finally comes, the Zimbabwean people might just end up saying, 'rest in pieces.' For you have totally failed and betrayed them in order to please your loose wife.
