*SMOKE*

All hail the lamb on the decayed wood,
Yet the sun shines upon the wood,
As the blustering zombies crash
The glass into splits,
Into splits of rainbows.

Are they colourful in the brim
Of loss, horned on broken faces?
Killed with swords as the flies
Run out from the tinted hole.

Yet, the rodents and cats fight
Toward the hole filled with worms.
Are the worms insane as they keep
The meat gods yearn for sacrifice?

All hail the lamb on the decayed wood,
Clothed with blood that draws sirens,
As pounds and smoke draw
The sight from the lamb on the decayed wood.

Zimbabwe luxury train rail is back.

10/09/2025

📷: Zimbabwe has put luxury rail back on track, launching a new service between Harare and Mutare. The line cuts through the country’s eastern mountains, giving passengers a rare chance to experience one of Zimbabwe’s most scenic corridors in style.

The move comes as South Africa revives its own Blue Train service from Pretoria to Victoria Falls, a route last run in 2001. Together, the two lines mark a return of high-end rail travel in southern Africa, once a hallmark of colonial-era tourism.

For Zimbabwe, the train is more than a nostalgic throwback. It signals renewed investment in tourism and infrastructure, giving travelers a premium window onto the country’s landscapes after decades of decline.

⬆️ Kinshasa in Chaos After Heart-Breaking Loss by DR Congo

Supporters at Kinshasa’s Stade des Martyrs reacted in fury after DR Congo’s national team surrendered a 2-0 lead to suffer a 3-2 defeat in the dying minutes of their World Cup qualifying match against Senegal.

Congolese fans ripped seats from the stands and hurled them onto the pitch, overwhelmed by frustration at the stunning collapse.

Anger reached a tipping point when Senegal mounted an astonishing comeback beneath the stadium lights.

The stadium, once a place of hope, became a scene of chaos as stunned staff scrambled to restore order. Stadium security struggled to contain the outburst as fans poured from the terraces onto the grass, their disbelief turning into rage.

The match will be remembered not only for Senegal’s dramatic revival but also for the scenes that followed.
