Soiled Road Map To Luwero Triangle
In Memory Of Grandpa 1889-1991- Christopher Kamya Wampamba & The People
Of Luwero Triangle-Uganda (E.Africa)-
______________________________________________________________________________________
Grandpa said, he wanted to meet apollo milton to have
Hot coffee by the bloody soiled road map in Luwero triangle
That, they should talk about the big picture and the
Buganda Kingdom land at large, without a resident King
Grandpa said he will pursue his rightful calling on a dirt
Road to Matugga- Ssaayi- Semuto- Kapeeka and Masuuliita
Where vultures left to find better appeasing things to do
Weary citizens roamed the abandoned fertile terrains as
Though homesteads and farming were forbidden by law
Historical roads turned into fox paths and snake hide-outs
As if it was an act of parliament, villages without children
Noble folks slept on the run with jungle laws at hand
Good tribesmen were led to be at best as dead ones
Grandpa fought to pronounce milton's last name in his
Speech, but words just muddled furiously in his mouth
Like Ugandans wandering with no safe place to go
When I saw Grandpa, laid down in his coffin
Like a sword of honor, ready for inspection
I deeply thought that milton must be living
A shameless, braying lifestyle wherever he is.
