Beautiful Africa
Africa,
In this tranquil spectre of time,
imagination tickled,
Tell,
I will tell of the treasures of a people,
Africa on my mind,
The blessed Land of the brown Chocolatey pigment,
the brave unbroken cast,
myriads of ebullient frame transverse in strength,
though marooned by turbulent past,
scorned by the ignorant,
undeterred,
These rare breed tanned by the beauty of sunshine and nature,
Effulgent with coruscation of brilliancy,
Calumniated yet they soar.
the subject of unvarnished opprobrium,
defying the rage.
Onward to destination
Tell, The greatness of unbroken spirit,
when riveted with the barrels unharmed,
The kindness and love,
Africa, the Beautiful Motherland,
The Home of Nature,
from the swelling tide of the Atlantic oceans,
to the coral gardens of colourful crystal clear waters of Zanzibar
The scenic lakeside of the Bahir dar in Tana,
The breaking plate of “Nyiragongo”
The calm quietude of Amboseli,
amazing coastal treasures, the tropical forest,
A people of strength,
A continent where hidden gem are untapped,
with Mountains and sweeping valleys,
Africa,
Tell,
The spirited awe flowing from “Mosi oa Tunya”,
inspiring creatures of Serengeti,
the beautiful kissama and “Masia Mara,”
where ravenous creatures converge to hunt a prey,
Only the brave heart dares.
the craggy cliff, the Lush emerald Jungles,
the beauty of natural sunset,
the resplendent glow of untainted atmosphere,
To tell of the beauties of motherland,
The thought overmasters me,
Take me to Africa,
Where this tanned frame glitters in the sun
cock crows at dawn,
the thrills and chirping sound of birds,
A people with values,
culture and morals.
Africa,
The cradle of civilization,
Though ridiculed, we go on in strength,
passing through the King's highway.
