KAIETEUR*

Oh Kaieteur with thy gruesome splendour

Your rich, so cool placid waters you pour

Would you continue like this

In true eternal rain bowed bliss?

 

Oh Kaieteur tucked away so far

With a height more than spectacular

So many lovers of Nature you lure

For more than an eyeful feast for sure

 

For if Wonders of the World they seek

Then your greatness is simply unique

Many sad hearts trod your high brow

                And with ebbed hearts you they allow

 

To change their problems to smaller parts

Oblivious of their trustful hearts

Knowing how lesser and insignificant we are

When compared with Mighty Kaieteur

 

Your waters falling in foamy froth

Down hundreds of feet of granite worth

Engulfing spume spattered sprays

And disappearing in abysmal ways

 

The Legends for eons told about you

Can hardly be anything else but true

Spines your magnetic chasms thaw

Leaving many spellbound in awe

 

If time can erase men from this earth

Your Beauty will be of greater worth

For standing alone, Mighty Kaieteur

You're the greatest handiwork of Nature.
