The Women of Africa

I love the women of Africa
because they look fabulous.
They shine day and night.
They have seven ways to wear their clothes
and they have a skin secret.
I love the women of Africa.

The women of Africa,
they are the true beauties.
At the age of 40, 50, and 60,
the women of Africa are the most wanted.
They are the real role models of Africa -
That is why they say,
"Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo."

I love the women of Africa.

  1. Lebo, you are a fabulous woman of Africa!

    "... they have a skin secret." Wow. This line says everything, in only five words. It is a gifted writer who can sneak so powerful an idea into such a short line.

    You are fantastic, Lebo. Keep up with your writing! The world is a better place for it.
