My land doesn’t read but that is not all its flaws. My land has venom on its tongue It spews only negativity My land only appreciates the dead and lifeless. My land is selfish, in bed with corruption. My land is retrogressive, we never learnt from our oppression. My land is beautiful, arrayed with precious gems But like a beautiful lady with a bad attitude My land is sick, my land is toxic, my land is cancerous My land is cheap, need I say corrupt. My land is weak, it takes the easy way out My land is full of potential, the least said the better. My land is a star but doesn’t shine lately My land is rich yet so poor My land is wise yet very ignorant This is my land
