Sliding game – Mutserendende
Every little boy in my village
Can describe with joy and pride
How you play the mutserendende game.
You chop a healthy munhanzva tree
Cut the branches off the stem
Then drag the log up a mountain
Like Jesus Christ on a donkey
You mount the log, holding tight
Then, woosh, you zoom down
It’s so fast and furious
Eyes closed, breath held
You surrender all to fate
You land with a big thud
Your backsides tattered
Bleeding in hot ecstasy
So do many among us
Leading life fast and furious
Landing with tattered, bleeding souls
