AFRICAN DREAM

Like an insane always on the run
We've been on the run from home
Yet the making of a man is not in
How far he travels round the world,
It's in how far he travels thru his mind

Let's return home
For far mind generates famine
We need to get productive
In order not to be produc-thief
We need to be inside-dependent
We need to come back to sense
In order to clean up our mess
We need to become maid
For our land to become made

This is the African dream
The dream to study for Academic creativity
Against studying by Academic activity
The dream to trade by Local content productivity
Against trading by foreign product availabilty
The dream to function by service thinking
Against functioning by positive thinking

The dream to stop begging for fish
The dream to seek beyond learning to fish
The dream to maximize the value of fish
This is the African dream
