Beams of Dreams

I am dreaming the past Past when KBC was the only station Each morning started with the anthem of the nation We had to know your intention Before saying anything through the station Each anchor had a level of education While talent was just an addition Any deviation Captured the important attention Of the head of the nation Dreaming my past Is all I want to do last Streams of dreams I rather forget fast Like dreams from my father That choices have consequences A grammatical sentence that became our sentence Is every correctly stated statement correct? This kind that litters my mind Making me bitter Tearing my heart into litres of tears These dreams make me shy Shy to try mention my name My name that brings me shame Shame I cant tame Cant tame because my mind is lame Tell me why my kind cant cry When all I dream are tongues of fire From gangs on hire With orders from higher Higher rot that burns like fire. Dreaming that I cant have money in my pocket Without getting something in their jacket Vampires so scary Scattered in my neighborhood Thirsty for the last drop of my blood Limiting my limitless potential Potential so essential For resource mobilization With equal allocation not hurting expectation For relocation before suffocation. Dreams to revitalize my generation A possible solution for this situation In transformation of my nation To grow without corruption That is like sugar Sweeter it becomes And disaster it welcomes But I dare dreams Of peaceful elections An end to preventable infections Through certified injections And an education without leakage As a privilege For everyone in my village Laying my head on the pillow Feels like my heart becomes hollow From the beams of dreams that follow Makes me want to jump from the window And fall on the ground so low Flickering pain into my bone marrow Afraid it could happen again on the morrow What do you see in your dreams? Streams of dreams that my head cant keep Make me wish for beams of dreams to turn the leaf Of people who have a resolve and a belief That we are better together And we need each other Without a bother Of clannism Of tribalism Of racism But a nation of inclusion By implementation of all legislation In word and spirit Envisioned in our constitution That beams our dream.
