My Unfading Dream For Africa

Where peace should reign like water fills the sea Where unity ushers multitudes to a place of prosperity Where life is valued for the sake of humanity Where the Spirit of Ubuntu is taught across generations Where people with disabilities are offered opportunities Where widows are treated with so much respect Where orphans can be showered with abundant love Where girls walk freely on the streets, without a fright Where boys cannot be bullied by those older than them Where elders share wisdom in their communities Where young or old, rich or poor, black or white belong without being made to feel wrong Where discrimination of any form is eliminated Where nature is taken care of by its custodians Where power is never used as a tool to oppress others Where powerful individuals can empower more people Where justice shall not be used to justify the unjust Where corruption is not an option for those in high positions Where visionaries emerge and embrace innovation I wish nothing but the best For this land where I stand And that is my unfading dream for Africa
