Umutesi Uwase Raissa Poem
When we started this journey
We were confused about it
Moving around in all directions
Not knowing the destination
When we set out for the hunt
Without the right weapon we went
Picked up all we could find
Avoiding to go out unarmed.
In confusion, we walked
Without a destination, we moved
Without a bearing, we progressed
Trying to find the right track, but not.
Quietly to the woods, we moved
Tired and confused we sat
Back in the beginning, we came
Our thoughts to sort and refresh.
After all the thinking, we concluded
And fetching what we needed
Realizing where we were going
Settled we felt after planning
Ahead of us our destination we saw
Found out the ways to get there, so
Figuring what we could make of it
And for a better hunt, we went
By and by we moved
Faith and hope was all we had
In the night we stopped not
For retreat thoughts, we had not
We all had our different ways
But we all knew what we wanted
Our differences never made us scatter
But kept us together regardless of the distance
Our destination we finally reached
To the belonging, we had searched
The end becomes so near
For all became crystal clear
Crystal clear I said and
Crystal clear it was
After each got a suitable reward
For how hard each had worked.
