Change

Change.

As the cliché goes

It is the only constant motion

In life.

Change.

Happens both rapidly and gradually.

It exists as further proof

That

The personal truly is political.

Yet,

The more things change

The more they stay the same.

Dear Africa.

We your children

Are trying so hard to initiate change.

To be the change that we have been waiting for.

However,

We come up against

Challenges

That our ancestors fought against

As well as new ones that our unborn children will encounter.

It is so hard.

Yet

We continue to live in hope

The things will be better.

It is indeed because of hope

That so many of us

Are dying to bring about the changes for you.

Africa.

Our home.
