Enugu, Nigeria, Africa

In Enugu, where coal city dreams rise,
Beneath Nigeria’s sun, under African skies,
Hills whisper tales of Igbo grace,
Ancient spirits dance in this sacred place.  

Palm trees sway, red earth hums low,
Nsukka’s wisdom in breezes flow.
Markets pulse with kola nut’s cheer,
Okpa’s warmth draws loved ones near.  

From Awhum’s falls, where waters sing,
To Udi’s cliffs, where eagles wing,
Enugu binds the heart with pride,
Nigeria’s soul, where hopes abide.  

In Africa’s embrace, her story’s told,
Of Enugu’s light, vibrant and bold,
A land of love, of strength, of song,
Where roots run deep, and dreams belong.
