Motherland Poem by John Sensele

Zambia, marvellous Motherland,
God showered upon you special sites;
On your long neck, you wear a garland
Of fine flora to delight Whites.

Motherland, you're a treasure trove
Of copper, cobalt, platinum and emerald;
Lions, elephants and buffaloes rove
Your savanna with gifted Gerald.

Motherland, you're the heartbeat of Africa;
Your waterfalls boast of the Victoria Falls,
A wonder of the world outside Costa Rica,
Near the Kalambo and Ngonye Falls.

Motherland, your peaceful people include
Men, women and children who beam smiles
At residents, tourists, and the lewd
Who sample bush safaris for several miles.
