The Vastness of Africa

From north to south, from east to west,

A continent that stands above the rest,

Africa, immense and grand,

A sprawling, vibrant, ancient land.

Its deserts stretch in golden waves,

The Sahara's dunes, where silence paves,

An endless sea of sunlit sand,

A testament to nature's hand.

Through dense and verdant jungles deep,

Where secrets in the shadows sleep,

The Congo whispers tales untold,

Of life that's wild, fierce, and bold.

Mount Kilimanjaro, snow-capped peak,

In majesty, the skies it seeks,

Above the plains where lions roam,

A sentinel, a towering dome.

The Nile flows through time and space,

A river with a timeless grace,

It nurtures lands and cultures old,

Its waters tell of stories bold.

Savannas wide with golden hues,

Where sunsets paint the evening blues,

And herds of wildebeest and more,

In migration, the earth they floor.

In lands where the Great Rift yawns,

And morning greets with endless dawns,

Volcanic craters, lakes so grand,

A masterpiece of nature's hand.

From Cape Town’s cliffs to Cairo’s streets,

In markets where the world competes,

With sounds and scents, with life and song,

Africa’s heart beats loud and strong.

Its people, diverse, resilient, proud,

In every village, city, crowd,

From ancient tribes to urban sprawl,

In unity, they stand tall.

A mosaic of tongues, of cultures bright,

A tapestry of day and night,

With histories rich, and futures vast,

Africa's spirit will forever last.

O Africa, how vast you are,

A guiding light, a distant star,

A land where dreams and legends lie,

Beneath your ever-watching sky.
