Poem

Last night I slept
And last night I dreamt
Of what has come and gone
And that which is to come

It was a revelation
Of an impending revolution
The dream made me to dream
The dream is my dream

I saw my kinsmen in chains
In foreign lands
I saw them in pains
Working their oppressors' lands

There were times there were tired
But were deprived of rest
So they worked without getting tired
Unhappily doing their best

Then I saw the same people
Who came to us like eagle
And took our kinsmen from us
In our own land oppressing us

We became slaves in our own land
We were oppressed in our fatherland
But when the yoke was too much for us to bear
We fought and gained freedom

The dream I have for my nation
Is bigger than I can say
And this is my aspiration
To be the change all the way

I have my inspiration
From the heroes of yesterday
Who heaped up motivation
To outlive everyday

I see people everywhere
With middle fingers in the air
Curses fill the atmosphere
'cause life itself isn't fair

My biggest dream for my nation
Yea, my biggest aspiration
Is for everyman in my nation
To be his brother's inspiration.
