I smell mud
I see the chicks following the hens
As the cocks are on guard
I see the goats being naughty
The sheep eating gently
I see the trees dancing nicely
With the breeze and shrubs singing melodiously
I see the farmers tools
Walking on shoulders of the hard-working
I see the birds singing on trees
I see the vultures go and come
Looking straight into my eyes
At every turn
I see the plants and fruits growing gently
Free of “hurrieders” and foul scents
And hear the promises of their healing
I see rivers flowing hurriedly
On their errands to join the sea
I see the sun leading all
Until it tires and goes to rest
I see nothing but quietude
A few of the night announce their presence
In a while
I see I’d love to live that way
Even if it is just for a day
Living right in a cuddly African village.
