Even with the Lantern

Our forefathers worked meticulously in the still of the night, beneath the African sky, with extraordinary desires.

In obscurity, our parents struggled for their privileges while following their dreams, involving lights as their reference points.

With the lanterns as their hope, they pursued knowledge, in the depth of the darkness, they created their path.

Their capacity to drive forward through challenges and mishaps permitted them to construct another course, exhibiting their true capacity.

Their encounters stayed unheard, their examinations unfurled in unassuming homes and cottages, and their long-for information consumed.

Under the front of haziness, they made the way for the savvy by embracing Western education with unflinching power.

They made extraordinary penances, their work was not to no end, they created the best personalities, and their inheritance will live on.

On account of their unobtrusive starting points, valiant heroes arose, whose brightness is currently shown through the recounting of their accounts.

Hence, let us express appreciation and distinction to the people who enlightened the way all through those long, dull days.

Since they figured out how to light splendid fires even with a spotlight, a signal of direction showed up from their unfaltering responsibility even with the lantern.
