I Am Global Poem by Brhyte Owoo

I am global
In all things
I am global
Not centered and defined in my locality
I am global

Though I am born in a village
Without light or road
Yet my dreams cannot be confined in the darkness of my town
I am global

Though the people that surround me, maybe blind
To the dreams of my tomorrow
That awakens me at night with sleeplessness and joy
Oh! My God
I am global.

Though I see in the visions of dreams
The hope of my future, so bright it frightens me, the realization of THE ME to come
Yet surrounded in the darkness and death of my presence
I will not fear
I am global

Though some nights,
I sleep with the emptiness of the belly, with the pains of the day,
Burden by the terror of the presence, the death, and eater of dreams
I will not give up
I am global

For I know who I am
In he that lives in me
Shaped and molded to the perfection of his WILL and GRACE
I will be - ALL THAT, I MUST BE
For I am global
Born in a village
Humbled by hardship
Trained by God
And dispatched to the world

I AM GLOBAL
