To the Darkened
To the Darkened
What happened?
to that sweet voice,
those of the great States men;
I.K Musazi, Apollo M.O, Grace Imbingira
those that!
Engineered, ostracized, defiance and rejection.
Through the streets of Kampala-mukkade,
Yet with an enthusiasm of high fledged patriotism spirit
Embedded, and flourished in their hearts
Those who erected the concrete foundations...
By whom the national anthems, were composed,
R.I.P G.W. Kakoma,
Those, who highlighted the values of integrity,
Eliminated mediocrity and blurred the verses
Of nationalism, to all nationalists
The phrases were articulate with sweet scented songs to the ears,
Of men, who truly were ready grasped them, swooping
Their delightful speeches.
For the times;
Are but a rift and narrow straight
As we stand in a bliss.
