Orchids and birdsong
Lake Kivu tranquil
Verdant bush-clad hills
Painted hazy in green
For a balcony exclusive
This Bukavian idyll
Almost colonial
In the NGO style
Too removed perhaps
From everyday life
A helicopter arrives
Obliterating the calm
Like coffee in China
Instant made fancy
A veneer so common
Like peace in Baraka
