Streetlamp Learning

The flip of a channel
Brings
Africa’s poverty
Home to me
Inequality
Pained
Children suffering
Books
A treasure chest
Knowledge
A ticket to freedom
Streetlamps
A torch
They desperately embrace

The flip of a channel
Transports
Africa’s reality
Home to me
Inequality
Strained
Children dreaming
Education
A way out
Hope
A vision to survive
School
An exit ticket
They desperately embrace
