The Black Badge of Africa Gift Mudzingwa I was born with the scent
of wild flowers in the air,
The smell of wood-fires,
And the cooking pot.
My first tears flowed
from the sting of smoke,
From the pain of the thorns
in my naked small feet.
How I hated, at first,
The long hours, herding cattle,
But loved the hills,
And the river - when it gave me fish!
I learned to listen
to the songs of the birds,
To watch the colours
of the dawn and sunset.
I learned to love
The land that gave me
My own black badge.
The black badge of Africa,
