A poetic exploration of 'African Beauty' by Ken Mamman

Beauty is essential in the eyes

Of the beholder

Look how gorgeous you are

You red flawing top

Looking like an angel sent

To quench my manly thirst

A real woman is you

I come close to you and all

I could feel was the whispers

Of your aesthetics

Oh! You’re a real African omoge

Who deserves to be treated the African way

Your eyes sparkles like the morning sun

Your lips glows, they shine

Like the ray of the sun

Your steps like that of a queen from mars

Your hair flows like that of an Indian goddess

What a beauty you are to the

To this generation.
