    African Child - Poem by Eku McGred

    I am an African child

    Born with a skin the color of chocolate Full of potential for a better tomorrow

    Bright, brilliant and articulate Teach me discipline, teach me character, teach me hard work

    Strong and bold; I'm gifted Teach me to think like the star within me

    Talented enough to be the best I am an African child

    I am an African child I can be extra-ordinary

    Often the target of pity call me William Kamkwamba the 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 electronics

    Give me a dream, a door of opportunity; Give me a broken bicycle;

    I will thrive Plus the freedom to be me

    I am an African child And I will build you a wind mill

    Do not hide my fault I am an African child

    show me my wrong We are the new generation

    I am like any other; Not afraid to be us

    Teach me to dream Uniquely gifted, black and talented

    And I will become Shining like the stars we are

    I am an African child 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
