Dreams oh! Dreams, <br />Littered in the shadows of our memories, <br />A remnant of shattered hopes, <br />From the futility of unutured past. <br /> <br />Dreams oh! Dreams, <br />Concieved by the wakening of our thought, <br />'Cause we heard they had, <br />In the midst of their journey. <br /> <br />Dreams oh Dreams, <br />Coined from their quest for democracy, <br />For in liberty it stood, <br />As in the journey of time. <br /> <br />Dreams oh! Dreams, <br />Dispersed in our hearts, <br />From time immemorial, <br />A heritage of our fathers. <br /> <br />Dreams oh! Dreams, <br />Choking from the ages of our past, <br />Leaves from withered political irokos, <br />On the verge of its green vegetation. <br /> <br />Dreams oh! Dreams, <br />Watered in a Nations nursery, <br />Of spanky shrubs, <br />Yet it grew and was bullish.<br /><br />Ben Chukwuemeka Okere<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-of-my-fathers/
