Just 27 years later ... Inscription on the Manchester-Dakar Megaliths

Manchester, England, Dakar, Senegal

Megaliths placed by industrialist Jameson Watt

and visionary poet Magatte Ayittey

C.E. 2077

Heat from burning coal

Made steam,

Cleared dead air from cylinders.

Obstacles gone,

As if waiting for freedom,

Live air of mind and spirit

Drove pistons forward.

Cheetah energy

Dreamed and built.

A world beheld

The renaissance of Africa.
