Protest Poet Haile Saize speaks revolution.


Literary combatant Sydney Haile Saize decries social and political decadence pruning citizens into raggedness and moral nudity.  He vehemently protests against wanton human rights abuse, the cruel hand of dictatorship and fist of violence thrashing freedom of expression and freedom after expression to pulp. Saize wields his spiked ink- gun to liberate his tyranny-stricken people from the hard grip of charlatanry, heavy dose of cheap propaganda beverage, from the heavy smashes of violent sloganeering. He speaks porcupine quill truth to the state system grinding human consciences under the wheels of political expediency.  Revolutionary poet is a victim of dictatorial shenanigans by the unrepentant regime of his country of birth and xenophobia menace in the land of rainbows. Sydney Haile Saize is an unwavering literary combatant and has contributed  countless poetry missiles  at  Zimbabwe We Want Poetry Campaign / Brave Voices Poetry Journal since 2017.  AFRICA WRITERS CARAVAN celebrates freedom of expression and revolutionary consciousness through protest verse with veteran page Poet and   liberation griot South African based Zimbabwean born Sydney Haile Saize.
