I AM A SIERRA LEONEAN TOO

I may be hooked on kush my body bruised and worn wandering the streets of Freetown but I’m a Sierra Leonean too. I may not pay my taxes can’t even clean a gutter but this land is still my home I’m a Sierra Leonean too. I may not make decisions to sell state companies or pass laws for pregnant girls in school but I carry this country’s name I’m a Sierra Leonean too. So if I don’t snatch your phone don’t break the locks to your home reach for me, teach me to see there’s more to life than kush alone.
