Long Victoria falls Poems

Of a distant land I ponder.
Of a country torn asunder.
Of Zimbabwe ne'er forgotten -
Where the life has turned so rotten.
Ah it tugs my heartstrings so -
This much loved land so full of woe.

Through vast plains and rivers' springs.
A continent's heartbeat, strong and true,

Where ancient footprints in the sands of time entwined,
The birthplace of humanity, divinely designed,
In my esteemed valleys, where life first aligned.

I am Africa, the cradle of civilization,
Where mighty empires...

Its ugly...

Walking through a park on a perfect day
Skating on ice, surfing a wave, going for a drive
Witnessing sun rise, lightning in flight, ocean under moonlight

leading to the corners of the mind.

Singing their treacherous songs of death;
“Let us in, we need your blood”.

Having been carousing in solitude
Till evening.

Is not lovely tints of the Taj Mahal,
Nor the wash and roar of Niagara
And mighty misty Victoria Falls.

Not even  a newborn’s soft sweet wet smile,
Nor snow-capped peaks...
