EPILOGUE

South Africa is a melting pot
Of unique races, landscapes,
Flora and fauna,
Veritable living tapestry captured by Mzanzi Magic,
Highlighting infinite cultural and touristic wealth
Through the rhythm of poetry,
In a new genre of creative writing,
Blending the natural and cultural
With the vowels and consonants of poetic aesthetics,
To give birth to complex
But at the same time captivating re-presentation
Of culture and nature,
Meant to project other facets of SA
Beyond the jungle of so much taunted
Crimes and human tragedy,
Since unfortunately these other sides of the story,
Those of exquisite timeless beauty
For uplifting mind, senses, and soul
To dimensions of faith in highest possibilities
Are hardly mentioned,
And even though the dark side is existent
Why not shift focus
To the scope of hope,
To the truly spectacularly beautiful aspects
Of this unique land, peoples, and nation
So that we could all start becoming aware
Of the positives
And concentrate too on them
And dare to dissolve the negatives
Or at least not become obsessed with them,
By seeking to possess the best
Dropping the beast
So that all can feast
On the infinitely rich menu
Of Mzanzi Touristic Magic!!!
