In my country
My countrymen (women)are all peaceful people
Full of dreams and hope
They dream of a new era of equality & prosperity
They are hopeful of a new tomorrow brimming with opportunities
Peeping through the window of time
I know it's possible
It's possible to disinfect yourselves from your past
It's possible to put on a royal gown
And stand on the pedestal of success
It's possible to fulfil your dreams
And be the star that shines everyday
It's possible to unveil a new future
A bright future fully clothed with opportunities
But my tribesmen (women)are not ready to embark on a journey of change

I would like to translate this poem
Without embarking on a journey of change, the dream of a bright future may not be realised. It is an African problem. Thanks for sharing. Please kindly check my poems HOPE and THE BEAUTY OF DEATH and leave your comments.
