Africa Of My Dreams
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Africa Of My Dreams]
The Africa of my dream
A land flowing with milk and honey
A people bound by one love
With peace and integrity being her value
A place where honesty is the order

But the song of Africa
A song for survival is forgotten
By egocentric individuals
Both young and old
Chaos and confusion all I see

The young, proclaimed as the future
Are like sheep without a shepherd
They wander hopelessly
A confused generation we are
Where then is the Africa of my dreams?

The so-called seekers of justice
Now go against what they preach
How then would the oppressed
Be relieved from hostility
Africa, oh Africa, you need change

Written by: Okikijesu Temitayor Adebiyi
Edited by: Kukogho Iruesiri Samson
