Degree By Desire In Africa

African continent in my dream Must be the most learned continent Millions possess strong degrees Obtained from various universities Bachelor of Arts in creative miseries Bachelor of Science in serial denials Master of Arts in pure ignorance Master of Science in durable sorrow There are many doctoral degrees Earned from Universities of hope Awarded by the council of desire After specialization in failed prayers The degrees obtained by desire, Are they of any value to this Africa? Can they catapult Africa development? Answers are deep in your heart! Those offered only some education Those ones denied all education Children crashed in conflict zones Babies who peep and go back home The denied, the crashed, peepers Go away with imaginary degrees Bachelors, masters doctoral degrees With wasted opportunities and loss So it happens in African homeland Who can redeem it if not the divine?
