Africa, our land of sun kissed dreams
Vibrant rich scents:warm bubbling streams
Corruption: an iron fist: scourge on the land
Shadows peeling off the trees
Gilt edged horizons hearing desperate pleas
The enviornment and wildlife is ours to hold
Ours to encompass and with compassion to enfold
When and how did it all go bad
Africa’s brooding secret: dark and sad
Africa’s bush warriors give their word
A growl of thunder in them stirred
Powerful: unsubdued by the burning dawn
Hurling bolts of lighting: piercing the morn
Training and resources to carry out their work
Sworn to stop this greed sweeping the earth
Chengeta Wildlife: marches towards every place
Looks of wonder like light on their face
Our magnificent elephants, again free to roam
In this magical bush that we call home
Walking where before they feared to tread
By tracks whence the scourge has fled
We will all be at one with this sacred earth
Our heart song: soul dance: rebirth
Measuring our civilized behavior by the depth of our compassion
A land now blessed with riches and passion
A heartfelt poem- its beautiful.
Beautiful and haunting.
