Beauty, they say, comes with time
Even scars fade, and what was once ugly
Now seems fine.
Though torn and shattered years ago
Rwanda, like a new moon
Glows with a quiet, radiant light.
Yet, if you listen closely
You can still hear the echoes—
The haunting cries of Tutsis, Hutus
Lingering in the wind.
When the rains arrive, tears still fall
Tracing paths down the cheeks of both
The old and the young.
But they made a choice—
A choice to believe in a dream
An idea that would set them free.
And like eagles, Rwandans soar
United, resilient, and proud.

Just climb onto the back of my Harley
And we shall ride to the songs of Bob Marley,
In no time at all
We'll be in Senegal,
Though I might stop for lunch in Kigali.

hypocrite leaders continue to bite other Africans daily.
as the rebels M23 "Rwanda defence force" bombed
bases of burudian peace soldiers
in DRCongo wantonly.
many people astonished
and claimed that Kenyan,
Ugandan and
South Sudanese soldiers
of East African
Community
are with the rebels M23 to divide
DRCongo into many countries.
It seemed as burudian soldiers did not agree
in some dark deals and continued doing their mission
Of restoring peace in some affected zones.
many Congolese continue to appreciate
the work of burundian soldiers
than monusco and other troops.

Rwanda’s African sunset is pulsing with charm
The sun glides away in her entirety here
Waving goodbye to a lone Baobab tree
Could it ever get any prettier? Probably not.

One day, i will fly to the most beautifull hills
where all will be as green as natural
where the wind will run through my face
in a welcoming hymn just to put me at ease
i will sit in the sand looking to the sky
the one full of stars just near the beach
feeling the breeze and hearing the sound of the lake
as it moves, calling me to embrace it
but i will sit still, waiting to see the dawn
the one that tear the sky apart
calling up a new day,
and if by chance i'm holding ur hand,
we shall name the place GISENYI

It begins as a melt
On the Moon of Rwanda
It ends on the Delta of Civilisation

In your azure eyes
I was teaching myself:
how to drown. What a nodal
agency to receive the award.
The ailing moon
will not come to my rescue.
The seized cloud had failed
to cry –
embarrassing the sidewalks. An
unfathomable legend.
A bloated name becomes the
mother of rapes.
At stake were all the crutches.
The tribal stain had a stark
reality. The basic instinct,
walks home to stand on the mount of bones.

They mere-go-round in
fermented anger
like an underground tormented
ghost
wondering in fomented
questions
why are they kept under?
To undergo a wonder test
without rest
They get filled with uncooked
ego
because the thunder why
numerous wonder is been
performed by western *****'s
In the mist of this
They limp and mix temper with
pamper
And get chimp fixed in a
hamper
And also smell around like small
He-goats
because,
they have leaned, learn and
surrendered to a stem of
growth
But still wallow and wonder in
forest of Rwanda
This has decreased the cream
of their dreams
and floated them in the stream
of confusion
It's unfortunate
for they wonder in Rwanda
forest
In a slate of confusion
And they boldly forget how to
speak their native tongue
for they wonder in Rwanda
forest
