One day
One day I'll sail the troubled seas
Using my heart as a compass.
Someday I'll rid the world of AIDS
Using my songs as a prescription.
Someday I'll raid the governance of stench
Using my poems as bombs.
Someday I'll wipe the world of leprosy
Using my art of poetry.
Someday I'll slaughter the whales of diseases
Using my pens as harpoons.
Someday I'll poach tribalism called racism
Using my works as arrows.
Someday I'll forge a true nation
Using my umbrella of the rainbow.
One day I'll unite the world
Using the language of humanity
