Love

LOVE
To love is to suffer 
To avoid suffering one must not love
But then one suffers from not loving
There for to love is to suffer
Not loving is to suffer 

To suffer is to suffer
To be happy is to love
To be happy then is to suffer 
But suffering makes one unhappy

But therefore to be unhappy 
One must love or,
love to suffer  or
Suffer from too much happiness

love is a paradox
love is a riddle
Yet with it life has a meaning 
                            D.Trophy

I Have Seen

HAVE SEEN
I have seen mentors become tormenters 
I have seen Shepherds lead there flocks
To the gates of hell like Berizebu 
I have seen Fathers turn against their daughters 

Beyond forested mountains and valleys 
I have seen pretenders shade blood
Of their fellow human like lions on their prey
I have seen the right path swallow the passers by as the fish swallows it's bait 

l have seen people live like paupers on their 
Own land 
I have seen equality kick the bucket on the
land that used to be joyous
l have seen famished men craw for survival on the city streets.

On the other side of the river banks,
I have seen animals treat their fellow as human
I have seen the glory of the mighty upon his land
I have seen the scenic beauty of the land where birds sing and dance for the humourous fresh feeds

Sky Rocating

SKY ROCATING
Birds in the sky 
Fly high
My ancestors cry
For my past is burnt 
The sky is blue
But the wild is burning
The woods colonized by orange flames

Green pasture is no more
Compassion is no more
Birds are now flown by wind of starvation
Only mother's love prevail
To keep the generation rolling

Will I hope with hope any More
When my home your fires devour?
Will the birds ever sing their happy songs
Yet their eggs and nest devoured in smoke?
oh heavens!

May you look upon our sweet sweat
And smother theses flames
With the cloud of rain
To chase the old sea zone
And welcome the new season

Upon the Hills

UPON THE HILLS 
upon the hills lies a centre of academic excellence 
Professors and Doctors are  vessels of this importance 
Vibrant cool fresh breeze  bless' its equivalence 
Oh the mighty University of acquaintance. 

Fully furnished  bochord for vast exploration 
Well inaugurated computers for extensive revision
A well accomplished futuristic wireless lnternet 
For students curricular and co-curricular activities 

Tik-tak, East or west, you embrace there presence
Tall or short, dark or brown, you reward there patience 
Oh the mighty University of acquaintance
The university without walls.

Quality is our daily bread,
Like the appostles creed, 
We pray that you always lead
For generations to glorify your commencement 

Kabale University,
A university of the people
For God and my country.
