Dreams and Third World Countries

Achievable
          If your parents are corrupt public officials

                                Attainable
          If you embezzle some public funds

                                Acceptable
          If tis what your parents do

                                Doable
          If you run a pretend NGO and divert the funds

                               Reachable
          If you warm the beds of some well-placed fellows

                               Probable
          If you have very generous relatives in the diaspora

                               Possible
          If you are exceptionally optimistic by nature

Well written poem of the sad but accurate depiction of most African States. Welcome to P/Soup
