          The African Child Poem by Eku McGred

          African Child
          I am an African child
          Born with a skin the colour 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 am the son, daughter of the soil
          Rich in texture and content
          Full of potential for a better tomorrow
          Teach me discipline, teach me character, teach me hard work
          Teach me to think like the star within me
          I am an African child
           
          I can be extra-ordinary
          call me William Kamkwamba the Inventor;
          Give me a library with books
          Give me a scrap yard 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
           
          We are the new generation
          Not afraid to be us
          Uniquely gifted, black and talented
          Shining like the stars we are
          We are the children of Africa
          Making the best of us
          Yes! I am an African child
