My Friend

MY FRIEND
I know I should love her style
Even if in mud she can't flee
I see her from a mile
And she seems ready to welcome me
On her breasts we leap
Both the sinners and the saints free
And in her chest I will always sleep

We collide with killers
Of the future pillars
We live without orders
Criminals negotiate with  leaders
And just like that
Justice is never brought to the owners 


She listens to the loud voices when they arise
Screaming and shouting 
That things are on the rise
But the income is static

I see the tears in her eyes
While she tries to fix the situation as she cries
For our sake
But we defy her  the chance take 
Because we live in the dark 
Where people do what they fake
Anytime they want to attack


Men are out with dawn
And back with dusk
But nothing seems to be drawn
They depart with nothing
And return with nothing
Yet their 'Mrs.'  expect something
       
           Mbabazi Stellah
