Poème: "I AM AN AFRICAN CHILD"

M. Sorie Sama, étudiant de l’institut de l’Université panafricaine de Gouvernance, des Sciences humaines et Sociales (PAUGHSS), a, lors de la visite du Commissaire en charge de l’Education des Sciences et Technologies et de l’Innovation, S.E. le Professeur Mohammed Belhocine à PAUGHSS, délecté ce dernier ainsi que la délégation qui l’accompagnait d’un poème savamment déclamé en l’honneur de l’enfant africain. 

I AM AN AFRICAN CHILD


I am an African child
Bright and brilliant
 With such an unimaginable skin color
 I am indeed gifted

Unfortunately, I’m often the target of pity
My future has been confined to charity
I cry out for a gift of a lifetime, rather than the meantime

Educate me and I shall be self-reliant
 I shall thrive-high like kilmanjaro  
For I am an African child

Teach me right from wrong, and I shall be strong
Teach me to dream and I shall become
For I am an African child

I'm the son of a soil rich in diversity and resources
Full of potentials for a better tomorrow
With discipline and hard work, I shall glow
For I am the star that shines across the globe

I am extraordinary
A product of a greater nation
A united Africa 
The Africa of the Africa Union
For I am an African child
     

THANK YOU
