MY MALAWI
My Malawi
My Malawi is beautiful
My Malawi is scenic
My Malawi is breathtaking
My Malawi is expressive
My Malawi creative
My Malawi is innovative
My Malawi is adaptable
My Malawi is resilient
My Malawi is resourceful
My Malawi is versatile
My Malawi can be unpredictable
like her seasons
My Malawi can be disheartening
like her abuse
My Malawi can be fickle
like her loyalty
My Malawi can be indifferent
and at times defeatist
My Malawi could do with:
A little more love
A little more pride
A little more warmth
A little more ambition
A little more foresight
A little more truth
A little more intention
A little more patience
A little more justice
And a little more
for the ones with less
My Malawi could do with:
A lot less greed
A lot less jealousy
A lot less envy
A lot less entitlement
A lot less neglect
A lot less pretence
A lot less laxity
A lot less suspicion
A lot less superstition
And a lot less Nsima
But all in all
My Malawi is here
My Malawi is now
My Malawi is your Malawi,
Our Malawi
Our Malawi is home
Our Malawi is our amazing
Mai Malawi
And I am grateful for all that she is
And all that she gives.
