Abstract
This poem explores the profound experiences of an African individual navigating the hardships and hopes associated with diaspora life. It intertwines personal reflections of cultural displacement, resilience, and the unwavering faith in a better future, guided by the comforting and hopeful imagery of Psalm 23. The repeated expressions of anticipation and visions of peace, security, and legitimacy in an African homeland emphasise a deep yearning for stability and recognition amidst the struggles faced in foreign lands. The poem conveys a strong sense of spiritual reliance, persistent hope, and the determination to see a future where the African dream of dignity and legitimacy is realised.
