Giyani My Homeland

Giyani, my homeland, my forefathers land Located deep in South Africa in the Limpopo province Where all things are bright and beautiful Far from fraud of fertility It's an infamous land The moonlight outshines the streetlight Giyani is indeed a beauty It's like the Garden of Eden Full of fruit trees It's sweetest mangoes, oranges and Tomatoes seeds from ZZ2 I know the roots of it's trees are valuable Oh, my grey aged great grandfathers childhood Mother Nature chose this place The birds on the thatched roots, are the tourist attraction The Ritavi River running by Everyday the sun shine and set And brightens up the sky Indeed Mother Nature chose you, Giyani You're the promising land Flowers looks beautiful The land where all of us are the best we can possibly be They say you're poor But I can't see it Do you have to cry out somebody to believe? Believe me everybody cries sometimes even me!

Ndzalama, I would categorize this poem as Free Verse. Just one poet's opinion. Love the poem though, so informative of the land and people. Love and more love to you and yours.

Beautiful poem, Ndzalama. From your superb description, I would love to live in Giyani. My sisters are visiting Ghana later this year. I'm sure I can convince them to visit your beautiful land the next time they travel to Africa. Just a fine, fine poem. May love light your path always.
