Mwesigwa Michael Micafrica Poem
AM ENSLAVED BY LIQUOR
The bottle had become my friend and companion
When the sun rises I stroll to my favorite drinking salon
Leaving my wife and children in bed to quench my thirst
And spend my monthly salary on my best hobby drinking
Till when i feel that I have bought all the patrons a drink
My children are better sitted at home
Than wasting money educating them
My boys are better at rearing my herd of goats and cows
While the girls can assist their mother in cooking and doing home chores
While I their father can drink and do my usual routine; drinking
I
I abscond from duty because I can’t miss to drink
My work mates remind me to resume work but that’s is none of my concern
As long as I serve my precious master the “bottle”
If am not the one to leave last the drinking joint last am not faithful
So I make sure I leave last
Now am sitted all alone at my veranda wasted
Having become a laughing stock by my village mates
I had turned into a greedy father and bread winner
I failed to provide for my family needs
I gave up on educating my children
My wife had to endure regular beatings and insults from me
All this I did under the influence of alcohol
Not knowing that my family was being ruined.

Mwesigwa Michael Micafrica Poem
MY HEART BEATS FOR KYOGERA
For these past 5yrs I have spent
I tried looking for a gal to replace you,
But all I found could not match your acquaintance
For I kept shunning company of girls and the league of lovers
For I kept on lounging for you
At all times in dreams dazing at you,
but they could never materialize
I could hear your voice call my name
Only to hear echoes that made my friends
To refer to me as a charmed being
I still dream seeing your old face
How tend, awesome and cute you were then
Though I hope to get chance and see the real you
To wash away my nostalgic feelings
I used to frequent the village well
with my father’s herd to the nearby shrubs
just to ogle at you while
you were fetching water smiling
the jokes you made with your friends
for only that sight of you made my day memorable
