My passion for the the African bush and all those magnificent animals that leave their
footprints on the sand….raising awareness on the plight of
our wildlife and promoting Chengeta Wildlife.
A seductive wind ushers in the late afternoon
Brushstrokes of twilight beckon…as crickets gently croon
The heart beat of Africa….warmth oozing beneath your feet
Gusty winds fling a handful of stars….an explosive twinkling treat
This is Africa….in all her naked glory
A land of mixed culture, turbulence, superstitions and stories
Sweet smelling buffalo dung steamed warm in the the early morning sun
Call of the wild…beating to a rhythmic African drum
A land of growling thunder and stinging needle like rain
The pungent smell of a lion…shoulders and head adorned with a wild tawny mane
Where blue headed lizards bask in sunshine and leafy plants unfurl
The liquid murmur of the a river as it flirts and twirls
A land where spider’s webs are spun with sun glazed thread
Elephants..in threat of extinction as in silence they tread
Where
‘Hope’ the rhino with her brutally disfigured face
Her heart still pounding with courage, dignity and grace
The humble pangolin with their tough armoured shell
Boxed and shipped to Vietnam and China to keep people well
Such beauty and harshness in this our sun burnt land
Cruelty and compassion…..both dealt by the human hand
The wings of the fish eagle caress the mellow breeze
And
Hope must never die as it rustles through the trees
Bereft of wildlife…the world will be a poorer, darker and lonelier place
A soulless time warp….overcrowded images of the human face
Where desert sands spread as hot steamy winds blow
A chest crushing heat and a lifeless flow
Align yourself with the wisdom of nature….do what is right
Become a voice for the voiceless…join the fight
