Nguma Monene
Sunset is deep and beautiful
But is feels like calm before great battle
The area is tropical and blissful
The soft sky is reflected in women’s eyes that are black hazel
The river murmurs gently
As it stretches from here to sea
Life in all its majesty
Is reflected in river’s memory
The moon shines with its silver blue nirvana
Above the jungle and the savannah
Amazing fauna and flora
Far to the north Kilimanjaro rises above Serengeti and might explode with lava
Everywhere is blissful peace
But as the stories of old, young woman will reminisce
The joy will suddenly cease
As she notices something not far where she left her earpiece
The bright visage of moon suddenly turns eerie
Like spell of hands of fate would be set in a sea
Like near future horrible will be
And there is no escaping destiny
Suddenly she hears a deep hiss
Interrupting joyous bliss
The colossal forty meter lizard comes out from watery abyss
The forked tongue extending from its mouth as if giving a deathly kiss
The creature moves to bulrushes that are tall
The women fells boundless dread engulfs her in all
She feels like she swallowed her own soul
Just like the creature seems big enough to swallow the moon whole
This is the beast that eaten soul of the sun with a yawn
Because of him there will be no dawn
As the very hell it spawn
Awe inspired lady gazes at it hoping the lizard king on her will not look upon
