Cyclone Idai : Change Within A Night

"Ungokutukira badza, ungokupa upfumi"! This in Shona means that the one who urges you to handle a hoe gives you riches! But how do you encourage someone to do something, or reprimand them against something for their benefit when they owe debts beyond their capabilities? You see survival is good,it's a complex feeling mixed with both sad and breathtaking moments but what comes after that is despair and paralyzing loneliness! The kind and ever-giving aliens you depended on leave you after they have analyzed and presumed you are now able to uplift yourself and strive like any other human being. Sometimes they are even told that you are well and doing way better than some of the people that weren't even victims. Your pond of resources dries and your well being is vulnerable. Those that rely on you hammer big nails of hunger and unyielding needs on your back and eventually you are forced to borrow ,lend or at worst sell yourself!
