Lioness

He was the
Lion of Africa
Now gone but
What the lands
On the southern
Seashore need is
Not a lion so much
As a mother to help
Recover from the hate
Strife manipulation and
Now the virus, what is the
Real need is a mother’s love
To nurture the people and the
Land of the southern seashore.
Time to see the coast just as
The Nile a ribbon of life in a
Desert, half wet half dry a
Green ribbon of lives an
Oasis a thousand or
More miles long a
Chance to turn
Two wine-dark
Seas into a
Nurturing
Paradise
Gentle
Haven of
Mother’s love.
Welcome her back.
