AFRICA WE CARE

AFRICA WE CARE

never have I, ever seen
such a crystal clear star
mom’ majestic maw
a feast fit for a prince and a king
such a twinkling star
shinning deeper in the belly
of mother earth
a rare radiant terracotta

you pragmatic – a people’s person

never have I, ever seen
such glittering bright moon
immortalize for one’s
mama’s magnificent dynasty
such glowing moon
heal my loneliness
with aureole ointments
hovering on ground zero

you pensive – precious piqué flower

never have I, ever seen
such a colourful cloud
a source of magical spirit
mother’s plaque
such curvaceous cloud
body of all creation
alpha and omega
nature’s paradox

you parliament of prettiness

never have I, ever seen
such a sensual sun
south of the tip of Africa
a chocolated heart
such sensational sun
titillates me
for I journey
through the struggle of love

you pebble of passion

never have I, ever seen
such a bewitching rainbow
telling feverish fairytales
filling one with laughter
my mum’s loan daughter
such an encyclopedia of wisdom
a dream worth living for
you perceptive a perfect person
