The teenager is a miracle creature
Her white teeth are a natural mirror
Elegant legs paralyze congregations
Tender lips vibrate with sweetness
Elongated wild hair tantalizes the wind
Every morn bees scramble to taste her nectar
Nipples pierce men’s weeping hearts
Amazing voice wakes up sleeping ghosts
Glowing eyes are enough to light up a room
Every touch causes electric circuit
Rich in natural endowment is this teenager
AFRICA
Africa! A land of many nations,
Full of cultural heritage,
Endowed with untapped attribute,
Has been present since the stone age.
A continent built on a strong basement,
Gifted with natural endowment,
The Niger river of Nigeria,
The Kilimanjaro Mountain of Tanzania.
Africa! Rich in mineral deposit,
The oil wells of Nigeria,
And the copper deposite
Located in north Rhodesia.
Nile river of Egypt,
Orange River of South Africa,
Indeed Africa is blessed,
What an awesome craft of God.
