I am an African Child - Poem by Eku McGred

I am an African child Teach me discipline, teach me character,
Born with a skin the colour of chocolate teach me hard work
Bright, brilliant and articulate Teach me to think like the star within me
Strong and bold; I'm gifted I am an African child
Talented enough to be the best
I am an African child I can be extra-ordinary
call me William Kamkwamba the
Often the target of pity Inventor;
My future is not confined to charity Give me a library with books
Give me the gift of a lifetime; Give me a scrap yard and discarded
Give me a dream, a door of opportunity; electronics
I will thrive Give me a broken bicycle;
I am an African child Plus the freedom to be me
And I will build you a wind mill
Do not hide my fault I am an African child
show me my wrong
I am like any other; We are the new generation
Teach me to dream Not afraid to be us
And I will become Uniquely gifted, black and talented
I am an African child Shining like the stars we are
We are the children of Africa
I am the son, daughter of the soil Making the best of us
Rich in texture and content Yes! I am an African child
Full of potential for a better tomorrow
