BEAUTY IN BLACK

Across the river lies fame and wealth
Where life glitters in creaming crystal
How I long to dine with gold as sapphire be my chef
And life smiles at the sublime atmospheric order.
On the ranges of Kilimanjaro life kisses the sky,
While Limpopo habours the giant king of Bolawayo
The hippopotamus that rules the Cape of Good Hope,
Accompanied by hospitality along the shore.
Oh how beauty stood at the palace balcony
As the noon day sun romances the atlantis,
Tell it on the street Kinshasa, how great Africa strive
Let the inhabitant of Johannesburg behold the beauty of our land,
This is where life lays, the corridor of hope though the colour be dark,
Jagulani Africa …! Our anthem rises across the ridges of Morocco,
The beautiful jewel that attracts suitors from across the shores of White land,
The merchants of Venice stayed far behind your wealth oh Africa!
Around thy rivers thy offspring dine, where shrubs laugh in unison
The land of hope and hospitality, where black lives matters!!!!.
