The Weed of Our Land

Long after our political matric
Green meant for Agric to make us thick 
Become green for vices that make us weak
We are on the weed of our land 

Britmen sow the seed of this weed
We choose to light them to life 
In attempt to high our livelihood with greed
We lost and now we thrive

Madness everywhere 
A norm of this wrecked badland
Need no spyglasses to view it clear
We are on the weed of our land

Failure to nurture our culture fast,
Disregarding the sweat of our Heroes past,
And their nation building incantations
Make us subsume abominations.
