    This poem describes an African child who, rather than pity, wants opportunities to learn, dream, and build using discarded materials. The child sees themselves as gifted, talented, and capable of great things if given the freedom and tools to learn through discipline, character-building, and access to knowledge through books and libraries. The child believes they can achieve extraordinary things and help build a better future for their community.

    African Child Give me a scrap yard and discarded

    electronics
    By: Eku McGred
    Give me a broken bicycle;
    Plus the freedom to be me
    I am an African child And I will build you a wind mill
    Born with a skin the colour of I am an African child
    chocolate
    Bright, brilliant and articulate We are the new generation
    Strong and bold; I’m gifted Not afraid to be us
    Talented enough to be the best Uniquely gifted, black and talented
    I am an African child Shining like the stars we are
    We are the children of Africa
    Often the target of pity Making the best of us
    My future is not confined to charity Yes! I am an African child
    Give me the gift of a lifetime;
    Give me a dream, 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
