america

I dream of you
think of you
smell you
a distance away
that seem unreachable

A home jam packed
with countless
overstayed visitors
I too
wish to squeeze into
your number
of insistent pest
because you receive
because you are good

I am a young girl
maddened with
a vibrant ambition
to journey to that
famous place
one day finally
I shall say
america here I come

A land
associated with fantasies
streaming with opportunities
streat filled with
gold and milk
only where there
is perfection
oh! awaiting paradise

Every soul knows you
for your fame have
travelled wildly
beyound you

I am sick for america
see america
smell america
dominate america
prosper america

But I am
not totally gullible
neither a complete fool
I know you are
not paradise
it is to my notice
that I have exaggerated
my thoughts
you are not kind to my caliber
those who have come
to lick up your economy

I know america
is not for lazy
dreamers
I am afraid
I will find you
ordinary
I am aware that
you will disappoint
my expectations
it is to my hearing
that you throw tough
difficulties.challenges
at my kind
dreamers like me wash toilets
mop floors for a crumb
of bread
I know you are not
at all d perfect land
of my fantasies

Yet I dream
repeatedly of you
do not mind my silliness
I am but a girl
what can I do
but make fantasies
I am not endowed
with means
of dissolving my dreams
into reality
all I have is ambition
