The Road To Independence Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I am walking along the road of freedom
I have not yet tasted the waters of liberty
I am toiling on this high slope to self-determination
I have conquered the rough terrain of education
I am negotiating the mind bending route to success
I am ploughing through hard ground
I will not give up
I will gather my thoughts and re-strategize
I will find another way if need be
I want to taste the sweet nectar of financial freedom
I want to sit at the same table with the wealthy
I want to know what drives their minds
I want to break bread with the rich and famous
I want to share a cup of tea with royalty
I want to wear the star-studded costumes of celebrities
I want to find my way to the upper echelons of society
