A Shakespearean sonnet on the immense river, the rainforest, and the unyielding spirit of the Congolese people.
The Congo winds, a serpent made of rain,
Through emerald depths where sun can barely peek,
A land of copper, diamond, and of pain,
Where voices of the forest softly speak.
From Kinshasa, where rumba fills the night,
To Goma’s ash beneath the mountain’s fire,
The people strive to find a steady light,
And lift their hopes above the tangled wire.
Though shadows of the past still haunt the trees,
And greedy hands have sought to claim the ore,
A song of triumph carries on the breeze,
From rolling hills to the Atlantic shore.
Oh, heart of Africa, so vast and deep,
You hold a wealth the world can never keep.
