In an African Future

In an African Future
A smile on that one child that represents all of Africa
Death to the dictator,
freedom to all who love, and want to be loved
Mental autonomy,
This is how depression and anxiety looked like

I envision Africa
Represented by a skyscraper and a white coat
Less of Madonna's adoption
Less of social aids from the west
An Africa, that feeds her children and not just the elected heads

An Africa,
where my love for Kudzai and Thabang is as welcome
As my love for Uwimana and Effia, I am a man after all
Equality is not just a dream

An Africa unchained
An Africa where lions and Tigers cry,
Just as Lioness and Tigress
An Africa where lions are raising cubs, a family setup
An Africa whose strengths lie not in their fists but in cerebral fortitude
