UGANDA
                                           Dear Uganda 
                       When I wrote for the rhymers, I saw you
                       With talent that had no other
                       That day was so bright with you filling those seats in theater 
                        I was glad that you saw talent in you
                        Knowing how much you could do better
                                          For you the pearl of Africa 
                                                        I write
                          Not a song but a poem
                           For each time I find a poetry group 
                                    I look for you 
                                    To give me courage  
                                    To give me hope
                          Hope that you have always built in me
                          Like a dream that comes true with love
                          For the sight of you, Uganda 
                           Gives me hope to write
                                          To believe
                                           That in you 
                                              In me 
                                                In poets 
                                             We are made 
                                                Yet we create
