Poetry




Mulanje Mountain


by Tiyamike Kathewera


Mulanje Mountain
Mulanje Mountain
You are so tall
So long
Like a nice song
Going a on high nice tone

Mulanje Mountain
So beautiful and blessed
Who can dare say you are cursed?
With all the nice trees you have
Wildlife abundant
Many attendants
To get visitors up you
To appreciate you
To see you beautiful dam
Yes dziwe lankhalamba

Mulanje Mountain
You are the pride of Malawi
And the whole Africa
Many tourists you attract
So many faces
Visit your many places
Mount Mulanje, you are so beautiful












Conserve the forest
by Tiyamike Kathewera


Conserve the forest conserve
For it is our source of pride
Wantonly cutting down trees let us avoid
That charcoal you burn
The trees it will wipe out
That tree you fail to plant
A desert our area will become
That tree you cut without replacing
The monkey you will starve of a home

Conserve the forest conserve
For the rain depends on it
Trees if we cut carelessly
A drought will we face
The forest we set ablaze
Bare our beautiful land will be

Conserve the forest conserve
For it is our source of money
Avoid burning charcoal
