Land

I want to be used
I am so blessed, and I bless
I am the land
I want to be used
I am so rich; I do not want you to starve

Unlike politicians, I always deliver my services
I need your touch, please use me
Please help me I am thirsty because of drought
I need you to cultivate me

I love producing as motherland
I love food
I love water
I miss your tender touch
I miss your ancestors
I am blessed

LungeloL To answer your question why ancestors , in the past blacks used to be farmers , they use to have many cows ,goats , chickens etc which means they were animal farmers , also had large plot of land were they planted food crops on meaning they were vegetable farmers , black people were farmers ,that why today, i am shocked when i hear other people saying blacks can not farm or can't farm , Black can farm and everyone knows that.. our ancestors proven that blacks can farm as they utilised the land to it fullest.
