     Enough of the West

 Enough of the waste
 Because ours is the best
 We have been quick to swallow
 With an aim of impressing global show
 They have crippled our future
 And maimed our rich culture
 Man for a man, so they say
 Eve for  Eve, so they sway
 They say it is a human right
 A right to sodomise day and night
 Is it because he doesn't have a son?
 Hope we emulate the Ugandan
 That is never African, never ethical
 That is never natural, never Biblical
 It is time we vomit their sweet poison
 And ingest our own for future generation
 If your donation is genuine, why the sanctions?
 If you really want to help, why the conditions?
 Like a harlot on the street we live
 Coz' what they give us we don't sieve
 Thighs fall apart, our bodies for all lotharios
 Obscenity our way of life, in most scenarios
 Torsos and cleavages private yet displayed in public
 To them it is theirs, to us we wholesomely mimic
 From fashion, to technology, to music, to visitors
 Is it to impress our own ideological suitors?
 Animals do it right for the right reasons, that is logic
To entertain the horn and it's dragon we do it wrong, that is tragic
