Samba Samba

The roaring gun that knew no owners The ghost incarnated in a metal groaning in the Pearl of Africa Terminating the blood f cattle keepers Hurtling the flesh of land tillers Tormenting landless hunters Scaring away lions of Mburo And leaving Mbarara homeless Samba Samba The gun of a dictator The gun that killed Ugandans The gun that liberated Ugandans The gun that we know better As close friend and closest enemy The gun we still carry
