Not Forever Mamaland

NOT FOREVER MAMALAND Down the valleys, through the greens Fresh air I have missed in years Still beautiful, still warm are you mamaland Gone I was but not forever mamaland The morning corn, the ewe’s milk What beautiful mornings I missed The cattle rushing to graze, freedom mamaland Gone I was but not forever mamaland The city men say you are old You stink and have no technology I love your tranquil and peace mamaland Gone I was but not forever mamaland The big man gave me a cheque and contacts His friends too will b coming soon Its time we cleaned and upgraded mamaland Gone I was but not forever mamaland They talked of tarmac, rails and bridges Heard also of schools, hospitals and malls I begged them to do it for you mamaland Gone I was but not forever mamaland Your children will now write their language Tap the keyboards and speak with the phones Will have you online, your beauty for all to see Gone I was but not forever mamaland
