Abu Bakarr Jalloh’s African Dream – A Poem by Ella Llewelyn Jones

This poem is dedicated to Abu Bakarr Jalloh, Founder of The African Dream, and it is written by British-Sierra Leonean author and poet Ella Llewelyn Jones.

Hopes higher than Leicester Peak

Head full of dreams

Striving harder pushing through the creak

Clutching at life’s seams

To search for coins under floorboards

Of lost hope

In Sierra Leone’s barren cupboards

Of scarce opportunities

Reaching out to grope

life’s amenities

before they float out of scope

A young man

With a plan

To conquer

Life battles

Repel

Life’s

struggles

As you strive to EXCEL.
