POEM/ MOVEMENT WITHOUT MOTION IN AFRICA

Lunging back and forth
Buffeted by the wind of indecision.
Swimming with the flow of uncertainty,
It has to stop...

African dream is no dream,
Tethering one to a spot,
Marooned without any decision,
Beavering away without doing anything,

A giant step they say it requires,
But riveted without a push,
The clime looks bleak,
Despite our sinew effort to reach the peak,
We strive but not moving,
African dream is no dream,

Unfortunately, It has always been a pipedream.
However, it will end soon,
Plans are afoot and in the pipeline,
Our votes we must cast heartily,
If we want a discontinuation,
of poverty and infrastructural deficit,
Clinging to us like leech,
Without a head-way in view.
