 Poem Reading

I am an African Child
By Eku McGred
I am an African child
Born of a skin the color of the 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 windmill
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
