African Adventure
by: Prudence Mathebula. 21. Soweto. South Africa

Morning breaks with decorated birds song
Sunshine strikes face with ever-warming gong
Inhaling innocent nature’s scent
An African dawn so Heavenly sent
Sounds more magical than any instrument played
The Creator commanded for these to be uniquely made
Great and minute they all subsist in perfect harmony
Human nature should consider adopting this symphony
Roaring power is head of the throne
Growling, howling, bellowing become echoing tone
Promptest sprinter is awarded additional days in life
Respect is stressed by these mighty, significant Five
Each creature blends in with defensive group
Inseparable and continuously overcoming unpredictable coup
“Wild” is no category to enlist such as these
While Kings and nations perish, they still co-exist with ease

Tourist attraction
Prohibited Retraction
Africa’s dream
Hollywood’s theme
A haven authorizing connection with nature
So tranquil, feeling of being closer to the Creator
Devoted souls sacrificing unconditional hours
Granting humans the African adventure that is lawfully ours
At the heart of the jungle
Lies Africa’s treasured riddle
South Africa, nature’s gateway
Our parks lead the path, destiny not so far away
More treasured than gold, even tougher than iron
The reward lies in the eyes of the mighty lion
