Suffering from side effects
One would ask what happened
It’s due to drug and substance abuse
For a little pleasure, I drank, hoping to find peace
I smoked, but little did I know that cocaine and marijuana would lead me into this drain.
Liver cirrhosis and lung cancer are now my buddies
Is this what our forefathers fought for during First and Second Chimurengas?
It’s a big NO
Let’s quit drugs and respect all those who lost their lives during the liberation war.
