The Dream Poem by Caleb Tukahiirwa

So it all began at that- - -
A small young tree in the savanna,
Not seen to any eye that stretched.
A star that stood among the many,
Too far from the earth to be named
A droplet that landed in the desert,
Cries from the amazons of far away;
Infantry gave him no class of value
Of an unknown ancestry, a peasant,
Outcast, they used to say

- - but it all seemingly changed
Nobody knew how or when it did,
As a tall tree grew in the savanna
And to its roar the green bowed.
A bright star neared the earth
Now a new sun to see bless the day.
An oasis appeared in the Kalaharis
The no one now was a somewhere
And he had become the dream
This that lay in every child’s mind
