Reverie
(It hurts to live in a country where one is marginalized for the language one speaks...For my fallen Cameroon anglophone brothers, whose only crimes were speaking the wrong language and exercizing their right to freedom of expression...)
In my mind, I am somewhere
Somewhere far away from here
Someplace, anywhere but here
In that place, there is respect
In that place, there is peace
In that place, there is love
In my mind, I am somewhere
Somewhere only I know
Someplace I can run to
