Vision for Africa ¡gracias BY DANIEL DERRICK MWESIGYE


Breathing heavily; destructive like a tsunami
Wondering what will be of my days,
That nature once turned against me
Shining furnace; with jealous hotness
Of the desert hot harshness
To lose the parent rock; once I lay my roots
Crying so hard; tears like rivers flowing
 Over flowing with fear; pain oceans full


Fighting my way back; in search of a parent
Shouting so hopeless; with a thunder roar
Shivering with craziness; so earthquake shaken 
Deep surprised before my chest,
My heart; trying to find comfort in a beat
With a vision of my unbreakable rocky dream
As you became the mother of my pride
Keeping my once fallen world, seas afloat

Giving hope to a once sinking ambitious soul
The goodness that makes people believe
With hot spring warmth in your kindness
You got me chasing a dream
Breathing strong; like a thousand year old rock
Breaking through barren earth’s core
As once only a vision of Mama Maria
Breeding love in my heart; I found hope

Holding my hand; to make it feel safe
My head in the clouds like Mount Kilimanjaro
Shooting for the worlds beyond
Victorious like a roaring, volcanic mountain top
Screaming myself voiceless like a Spanish wind
Trees whispering Graciela la’ gracias
You are a gift; I will gladly write
Forever shouting “Vision for Africa gracias” 

 Dedicated to
