Benin, land of ancient mystique
Where voodoo rhythms pulse, a primal shriek
A kingdom of Dahomey, a history so grand
Royal palaces, a testament to a storied land
Cotonou’s bustling streets, a kaleidoscope of sound
Motorcycles, markets, a vibrant all-around
The scent of jollof rice, the taste of grilled fish
A culinary journey, a flavorful wish
Ouidah’s beaches, a serene escape
A haven for dreams, a tranquil shape
The python temple, a sacred site
A symbol of power, a mystical sight
Benin, a land of resilience and might
A people’s spirit, a shining light
From the Fon to the Yoruba’s influence so bold
A cultural heritage, a story to be told.
