    African Child

    Eku McGred

    I am an African child
    Born with a skin the color of chocolate
    Bright, brilliant and articulate
    Strong and bold; I’m gifted
    Talented enough to be the best
    I am an African child.

    Often the target of pity


    My future is not confined to charity
    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 can be extra-ordinary
    Call me William Kamkwamba the Inventor;
    Give me a library with books
    Give me scrapyard and discarded electronics
    Give me a broken bicycle;
    Plus the freedom to be me
    And I will build you a wind mill
    I am an African child.
