AFRICA POEM AND IT'S REVIEW

 

AFRICA

When I catch a glimpse of your beauty,

Beautiful people, lakes, and rivers,

Perfectly crafted mountains, oceans, and waterfalls,

Most treasured wildlife,

You outshine diamonds brightly.

 

So peaceful and warm-hearted like Malawi,

Your soil pregnant with wealth and pure water is what you excrete,

Not surprising how you catch the eyes of tourists,

News about you spreads to every corner it touches,

For you are truly blessed.

 

Africa, Africa, my only continent,

Rich in natural minerals,

With a culture that embraces everything

That exists,

And beautiful women,

And appetizing fish like Chambo in Malawi.

 

Every time my mind recalls the slave trade,

The Thangata system, and all evil acts,

Like babies, your people cried,

Your people were tortured,

Then light came, defeating darkness,

Light always wins,

Just as Satan never shakes hands with light,

Africa is feared,

Africa is still on the verge of prospering,

Soon we shall wear the yellow belt,

Keep tilling the soil tirelessly, Africa,

Keep diversifying.

 

Africa, the land of beauty,

Africa, the land of heroes,

Africa, a continent specially made on its own day,

Africa, the light of the world,

Chapters' people will look back and embrace,

In Africa, they are created,

I love you, Mama Africa.
