COUNTRYSIDE AFRICA


COUNTRYSIDE AFRICA

It’s a serene unadulterated environment

With fresh liberated winds sweeping the skin clean

Sheep and goats bleating ‘meeh-meeh !’

Monkeys swinging and chattering

Dogs flirting and barking ‘wow-wow !’

Ducks marching in a single file and quacking aloud

And birds whispering melodiously

All blending harmoniously in a natural orchestra

To helplessly vibrate the eardrums

Surely! , nature scores its highest marks here

With elegance and glamour

Strikingly radiant rays from the sun

And the tears from the overburdened clouds

Graciously kiss and caress the naked earth gently

Seducing it to bring forth fresh and bountiful fruits

Trees stand undaunted in position

Combining forces to umbrella the earth beneath

While offering a cozy resting place for both flora and fauna

It's a pure and distinctive environment

Which makes the heart feel very much at home

Its astounding tranquility

Tickles the very thoughts mankind

Its soothing air devoid of industrial hazards

And odourless free-flowing water bodies

Remind mankind of his first home

The Garden of Eden!

Aaaahhhh…..!!!!!!!!

What unique refreshment it affords the soul


Cool, silent and breezy solace do the nights provide

Gently pampering our tender souls as we sleep

With melodies from frogs, crickets and owls

Easing the pains from our butted bodies with smiles


What more can we offer our spirits

In this unscrupulous period of urbanization ?

What more can we bless our souls with

In this age of urban malfeasance ?

If there’s any rehabilitation center

Nature has moulded for humanity

Then it is definitely the countryside!
