ENTUDUMUNYE


Ore esiai e nkulupuoni 
netiu anaa oldututai

Keme naleng'
Empepedoi sii too seseni lenkaji e Maa
Nemeishiu intarasi
keishirie yiook intarasi 
naa olomoni odua too irng'enjepa lang'
Oyie kulo le nkaji e Maa 
Ilooti wo ilbotorok
Natoyie ang' naisiriri nemen ilewa ooshali
Enyeito siake!
Entudumunye enkaji e papa o yieyio
Entasho tesipata inyi 
Entang'orr olosho linyi
Amuu intae eetiorie
Entudumunye siake!
Toompala o tooremeta
Teng'eno o temboron

Enchoo eeku intae oong'orr olosho linyi
Metaa murrano inyi 
Nalo ashuku enkop ang' sidai

Neitapaash ilmang'ati ewuaso oo nkidong'i

Naa tenimipuopuo ang'orr aate
Neeku irkiyio loo nkera inyi ninche ireyieta
Entudumunye Olosho lai!

COLD COMFORT

Image
The pain is too deep yet your face is all dressed in a smile I get perturbed by the mystery in your happiness Is your joy a product of me hurting? Is your smile as a result of my heart cracking? Every time you hug me and I feel your heart beat Reminds me of who we were Long before we got where we are When the smiles were real The hugs were tighter And we both cared about us Until we fell off and became a shell of our former glory Lost in memories we cannot rebuild Swimming in a pool of cold comfort That we hold on by our teeth To love that is escaping our grip With every single morning We drift further apart and no longer feel our hearts as intertwined As before We have lost our touch and glow All we remain with is a state of complacency With no idea who we really are What we have turned to Or where we are headed.

I WILL NOT LET THEM FORGET YOUR NAME

Image
I will go to the village pool There where the echo is loudest And on that hallowed serenity I will scream Call out your names in rising decibels I will remind them of who you were Through song and dance The village maidens might as well ululate And in their painful wails all may decipher They will trample on the red earth with their bare feet And the copper rings on their legs will ring Their tears like a river will flow  The village elders with their backs arched with age Will join in the fray even if hesitantly Fighting away the tears of a man The ones that they held back since you left Sobbing together in unison Our tears flowing into the still waters Mixing our pain and our source of livelihood To form a lasting memory I will not let them forget your name.

 Free East Africa! Free Uganda Unseating the Ankole-cattle patron  Take the reigns from the old order and pass the button  To the youth and to the future  Down with systemic generational nepotism  Burn down the age of despotism  Destroy the old wine skins Because the future is now, now is all we have Give Bobi no pen, give him a gun For if the Nile has to turn scarlet for the pearl of Africa  to glow once more so be it! Free East Africa! free Tanzania A single party anarchy that cares not of human rights A masked dictatorship that promises shorter days and longer nights The party of Nyerere, the African Shakespeare reeks of nothing but unprecedented fear Down with the hopelessness brought by anarchy Burn down the electoral injustices and the suppression of basic freedoms  Fire up the belly of the Tanzanian patriot  Give them a straw to hold on to in this sea of turmoil With their sorrows deeper than Tanganyika and their expectations higher th...
