My Country

I am impressed by your blessings
The whole you
And the shores of your Lakes
Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyassa
The tiny but beautiful white sands of your Indian Ocean
And your unforgettable and wonderful coastal scents of Zanzibar
Tourists from all over the world
Love your magnificent animal homes,
Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Mikumi
The largest volcano that you possess, The Kilimanjaro
People never forget your historical Amboni caves,
Your Southern and Northern thick forests and running waters
And your very fertile land larger than all your neighbors
But why have you left your rural world behind?
