The year: 2050.
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.
- The Lunar Men, by Jenny Uglow
- The Heart of a Cheetah, by Magatte Wade
- The Birth of the Modern: World Society, 1815-1830, by Paul Johnson
