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
