Maman Afrique

Soul rich beauty, boundless resources
Filled with deep venous riches  
Rising from beyond perfectionist blast
What strange natural goddesses look?
One with such grace and contentedness

Sweet lilies, bitter roses 
Green, red, yellow inky
Filled with inflated love and grounded greenness
Dirt that surpasses cleanliness

Storminess, closure, seizure
Peace encloses to safe keep
Mother Nature, Mama Africa
Surprisingly factual above all power

Weathers off ailments and danger
Destroyer of anxiousness 
Bringer of peace and happiness
Mon esprit, Mama Afrique
