Freedom Means Free Education and Healthcare

Freedom Means Free Education and Healthcare

I hear that Botswana offers free education
from pre- school to university. It’s a great motivation.
In rising Burkina Faso, too, school fees were scrapped.
Yet in other nations, patients and parents are sapped.
Those that care implement free education and healthcare.
Zambia, Rwanda, Namibia and Tanzania, Africans care and compare.
Why have others not joined you? No proceeds? No, they have to ditch theft!
Is “rich” Zim on the free education list? Who will teach her decorum and thrift?
In spite of her abundant minerals, free tuition fees and healthcare are still the thighs
of a tortoise. Surely, heartless hemorrhage and housebreak cannot be right and wise!
