I Have a Dream of Africa

I have a dream of Africa.
See myself in scenes from Africa.
Valleys, plains and trees in Africa.
Growth of black and green in Africa.

I have a dream of Africa:
To raise the esteem of Africa.
To sow up the seams of Africa’s
genes and finally reap for Africa.

I have a dream of Africa:
Doing great things in Africa.
A future will spring from Africa’s
wings as queens and kings of Africa.

I have a dream
that Her poets will sing
and Her children will cling
to Africa.

Poet: Erick Brown, 2013
