‘I AM AN AFRICAN CHILD’ by;Eku Mcgred’

I Am an African child Give me a broken bicycle

Born of a skin the color of the chocolate Plus, the freedom to be me

Bright brilliant and articulate And I will build you a windwill

Strong and Bold I’m gifted I am African child

Talented enough to be the best We are the new generation

I am an African child Not afraid to be us

Often the target of pity Uniquely gifted black and talented

My future is not confined to charity Shining like the stars we are

Give the gift of a lifetime We are the children of Africa

Give me the gift a door of opportunity

I will thrive

I am an African child

Do not hide my fault

Show me my wrong

I am like any other

Teach me to dream

And I will become

I am an African child

I am the son daughter of the soil

Rich in texture and content

Full of potential for a better tomorrow

Teach me discipline teach me character teach me hard work

Teach me to think like the star within me

I am an African child

I can be extra-ordinary

Call me William Kamkwamba the inventor

Give me a library with books

Give me scrap yard and discarded electronics
