**Boroma**

You may not know how many national treasures exist in this country,
Preserved by those who have stood steadfast against nature's fury.
At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary church,
But its significance is now ready to emerge.
Among these treasures lies Boroma, perched on the coast of Zambezi,
When the Portuguese arrived here, they brought the Catholic faith along with glee.
In 1885, they built this church amidst the remote hills,
Reaching it from Tete City entails numerous thrills.

Even after 148 years, this place remains serene and calm,
A depiction of Saint Joseph, in Santos Rufino's art form.
Art and craftsmanship find their home in these wild terrains,
In the Romanesque style, two minarets the church contains.
Polychrome paintings adorn the church walls with grace,
Medieval ruins are being reborn, a new chapter to embrace.
Education for the children of the hills is their vow,
Boroma is crafting its unique identity, here and now.

In the gorges of Zambezi's shores, it stands alone,
Forging a distinct identity, a place it can truly own.
Tourism can be a source of income, that's for sure,
But to change the perspective of tourists, they must endure.

यू तो न जाने इस देश मे कितने ही है राष्ट्रीय धरोहर..
सहेज रहे है जो खुद को प्रकृति से  लड़ भीड़कर..
कहने को तो एक आम सा चर्च, जिसकी चर्चा है अब होना..
उन धरोहरों में से एक है जेम्बेजी के तट पर बसा बोरोमा ..
पुर्तगाली जब यहां आए , साथ कैथोलिक नजरिया भी लाये..
सन 1885 में सुदूर बीहड़ की पहाड़ियों में ये गिरिजाघर बसाये..
टेट शहर से 30 कोस दूर इस चर्च में पहुच पाना नही आसान..
148 वर्षो में भी यह जगह है अब तलक सुनसान..
सेंट जोसेफ की तस्वीर है दर्ज  सैंटोस रूफिनो के कामो में..
कला और शिल्प  स्कूल भी शामिल है इन बीहड़ वीरानों में..
रोमन शैली में खड़ा, थमा हुआ दो मीनारें में..
पॉलिक्रोम की पेंटिंग में जीसस उकेरे गए है दीवारों में..
मध्ययुगीन खंडहर इमारत का हो रहा है पुनःकायाकल्प..
बीहड़ के बच्चो की शिक्षा का लिया है चर्च ने संकल्प..
जेम्बेजी तट की घाटियों में जो है अब तक वीरान..
संघर्षों से बना रहा है अपनी एक अलग पहचान..
पर्यटन है देश दुनियां में कमाई का जो अगर जरिया..
पर्यटकों के प्रति बदलना होगा, निश्चित ही अपना नजरिया..
