Dear my Malawian children That 50th independence day of trying to be independent is here Even though I your mother is still searching for independence I want to live in a place Where the mind is free without fear Where the head is held high without shame of being Malawian Where knowledge is free not manipulated by quota Where the world is one not fragmented by ethnic hatreds Where the world will be a better place to live than to worry Where words remembering our martyrs come out with tears Where no more killing of each other like 20th July will ever happen Where we all strive tirelessly towards the depth of truth not deceit Where we all strive towards a very happy united Malawi Where more mouths needs are feeding themselves, not begging Where more hands are working not idling Where everyone has a national agenda not Ndata-mansion agenda When each year after year we will pride in our forefathers successes Where each year after year we will count our successes Where our successes will not be roads and maize production only Where our success is freeing ourselves from economic bondage That day to be independent will be ….. The day we no longer depend on aid The day we no longer fight and shed blood The day we tell each other stories of success not failure The day we export many products to the west not importing The day every child will see education as a right not a privilege The day every mother and father shall have respect from the youths The day Anti-Corruption Bureau will not be a fighting tool for politics The day we admit our mistakes, accept failure and learn a lesson The day we stop working for personal agendas but being patriotic The day when poverty and starvation will stop stealing the joy It’s the day I mother Malawi shall be an independent mother Independent mother of 13 million children living happily Independent from being 50 years seeking independence.... Ine wanu mayi malawi
