THE AFRICAN THOUGHT

And so with this thought:

“I’ll not give up on Africa”

Never to Africa

Will I say, “Goodbye”

With the sound

Of this need

I rebound

With speed.

Planting in my heart’s ground

A seed…

A dream is what I planted.

I’ll never say goodbye

I hear an inspirational lullaby

Exactly what I wanted.

In my dreams

I see poets, visionaries and dreamers

Who water my seed of thought

And remind me of great things taught.

They show me a replica

Of the pain and glory of Africa.

Now I’m awake

Sharing my thoughts…

Oh, there’s one thing I forgot

They said YOU too have a thought,

You are an AFRICAN

With great thoughts

REAL DREAM

Dreams are hard to make

It takes time to sleep.

Sing a lullaby

So you can sleep now.

Though your eyes are closed

Dreams are fun to see,

Doing things unseen

When you are asleep.

Every dreamer must

Remember this truth:

Dreams are made so real

Only when you wake
