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!
