African Sultan

In the heart of Africa, where the sun is bright
Lies a kingdom of majesty, a regal sight
Where the savannah stretches, and the lions roar
The land of the sultan, revered forevermore
With skin dark as ebony and eyes like the night
The African sultan commands with grace and might
He rules over his people with a just hand
A true king of the land, revered by every clan
His majestic presence, like a powerful storm
African sultan, his rule forever to adorn
His royal robes, adorned with beads and gold
A true embodiment of the stories told
His palace, a grand structure, stands tall and proud
With intricate designs, and colors bright and loud
The walls tell tales of battles fought and won
Of bravery and honor, of a kingdom undone
The sultan's throne, a sight to behold
With carvings of lions, and gems of purest gold
He sits upon it, with poise and grace
A symbol of his kingdom, in this sacred place
The streets bustle with life, the aroma of spice
The sound of drums, and laughter that suffice
The people, all living in perfect harmony
Under the rule of the sultan, their hearts full of loyalty
The women dressed in colorful fabrics, adorned with beads
Their dances, a celebration of their cultural needs
The men, tall and strong, with spears in hand
Protecting their land, under the sultan's command
With wisdom and knowledge, the sultan leads
His kingdom, a land of plenty, fulfilling all their needs
He ensures that his people's voices are heard
Injustice and inequality, never to be incurred
The sultan's heart, filled with love and compassion
For every soul in his kingdom, he takes action
He builds schools and hospitals, and cares for the poor
A true ruler, forever to be adored
But beneath his kind heart, a warrior lies
Ready to defend, when his kingdom is in ties
For Africa, his beloved land, he'll fight till the end
The sultan, a true protector, a loyal friend
As the sun sets, and the stars light up the sky
The sultan sits on his balcony, with a contented sigh
For his kingdom, a land of beauty and pride
African sultan, his legacy, forever to abide
In his eyes, the reflection of Africa's soul
A land so rich and diverse, his heart forever whole
With each passing day, his kingdom grows
African sultan, a legend, his legacy forever to bestow
So let the drums beat, and the celebrations begin
For the African sultan, a true king within
With his people by his side, and the land at his feet
His reign, a never-ending tale, forever to repeat.
