Savo

SAVO When the rest fought in mockery… There arose one determined to see through the fight While the rest to their fate resigned, He refused to conform, To begin from zero he determined. So he could rescue the enclave economy Not only the economy but the people too From the dictatorial juntas of then… A few men he chose and schooled in propaganda To the jungle they went with guns not enough to go around. Driven by nothing but patriotism Their sails filled by the winds of passion Like any guerilla fighter… hungry he went By the mercy of the masses he survived Many a bullet for him took in the Luwero triangle God bless their benevolent souls. As the rest mused about his ability to disappear He knew it was for sheer luck that he survived He loved the nation that much He risked all he had so we could get all we have Savo God bless your heart.
