A poem I wrote based on my homeland.
The Cape:
White foam crashes against ancient stone
The windswept sand swirls and stings
Waters rush, chilling to the bone
A lone gull circles and sings
This land is stuck inside of me
Its gnarled roots dig deep and true
My people once came here hopeful, free
Treacherous sails across the ocean blue
Rolling hills of bush and shrub
Mountain tall, majestic, flat
The Mother City a cultural hub
At her toes the ocean laps
This land is hard and makes hard men
Their sun-baked skin like leather
The women tough, unwilling to bend
Their tongues are quick and clever
I love this land I call my home
Though strife and struggle it brings
Forged in hardship, tough as stone
This land is the land of kings
