The Coming-of-age Vision

Transition means home tasks,

mindset growth, rites and risks.

Isn’t it biological, emotional,

radical, social and rational?

A huge shift from childhood,

habit or naivety to adulthood.

 Africa, haven’t you been shaken

out of inertia? Seeking your sun?

Africa, witness the walk of truth

which is itself a course, a blunt bath

like a ripening fruit, the coming-of-age

sound, sincere sovereignty, an act of courage.
