Am A Citizen Of Uganda

The colours of my flag start with me

Black yellow and red, is my country

If leadership is leadership without any rule

The faces of all citizens would have smiled

That is not the theme of this poem

Some feel hectic when I draw proud lines

Then why do you keep on reading my poems

As long as you are in power and you rule

Rather lead than never it’s found in this generation

Even when an official passes away, so sad

The funds invested are never compared to his salary

How unreasoning it may be even before he deserved

Deserved better salary than the grave and lamentations

Will you keep on bribing the soul than the body

Even the living are much being tormented

You have got the knowledge but you can’t budget

Shall the dead come and live amongst us at the expense of the living

Then if yes, why don’t the hospitalized dying citizens survive

Because hospitals lack facilities to save many lives of patients

And you are busy spending excess on the departed

Rest in peace, but even lives elsewhere matter
