Captain Africa
I am an African warrior,
born from the womb of the giant
flower, deep in the forest.
Mother Nature has bestowed
me powers to protect Her creation,
and Her divine legacy.
Forest fires turn to mist,
when I blow into them;
Poachers run away when I summon
red ants with my mind;
I sometimes shape-shift into a guide,
if you are lost in the forest.
When I’m hungry,
bees carry honey in giant leaves,
and bring it before my shrine.
I am immortal, even to the gods….
