Poem: Africa's Dream

I have a dream, that one day you'll see me.
Not look through me,
but truly see me.
Maybe then you will realise that I am
both strong and fragile.

I have a dream,
that one day you'll feel me.
Not carry on hurting me,
but truly feel my pain.
Maybe then you will stop thinking of
ways to destroy my beauty.

I have a dream,
that one day you'll hear me.
Not carry on muffling my cries,
but truly hear my words.

Maybe then you will realise,
that I am the original,
I am the true land of dreams,
that I am Africa.
