You can't cut my tongue
short
It flexes swift and slip
your hand
Winds of freedom would
blow one day
Your vile attempts can't
change the trend
I dream of little children
With glowing faces and
charming smiles
Rushing to schools in
groups
Dressed in colours with
impeccable styles
I dream of the girl child
Eyes bright with vision
unbound
She has a dream of a
world
Where hate and racism
can't be found
There would be freedom
To speak, to write, to
work and to sing
No one would die of
hunger
Peace and harmony
every dawn would bring
Message

Freedom in various
forms
Dreams
 THANK YOU FOR
YOUR ATTENTION!
