Step forwards in the mind, step forwards in time,
imagine Africa with no deserts,
imagine the land no longer barren,
and no longer dry,
imagine the desert hoovered up and disappeared,
imagine crops growing in huge warehouses,
crops growing more often on land under African skies.
Imagine the massive desalination of the seas,
imagine no one suffering drought,
and having nothing to drink,
imagine people not starving,
imagine a brighter future for Africa,
imagine everyone well fed,
and the continent with no starvation and drought,
and imagine no more exclamations of why, oh why,
why oh, why do we have another famine and drought?
And imagine no one ever again,
because of famine and drought needlessly having to die.
