SOUNDS OF LIFE

Clop clop clop

The strangers hopping voice

Finds her way to i ears





Bizz bizz bizz

The ex gardener's sound

Buzzing the heaven out of i mind

The emancipated woman still seeking for a man in her





Echiew echiew echiew

The stuffy structure of Ugandan politics

Causing i to sneeze





Ding ding dong

Too early for christmas

Perhaps Easter Turkey for the priviledged

While street children sleep with bellies laughing





Oludeyo Onkumpasa....

Down the aisle with colored vows,

Only but for a while

She has the ring, the other woman has the man

Is the ring security enough?

For legitimitimizing sex changes not a man.





Hallelujah...Hallelujah Amen,

A conman dressed as a Pastor,

Selling miracles and blessings's fake,

Dare to say a word!

Do not talk ill about the "man of God"

I am sure he doesn't feed off the congregation,

Who are by the way not impoverished.





Ouuch, oooouuuc ooow ayaaa,

Stop! please stop!

Years later, a face unhappy,

Wasn't the wood good enough?

Turns out,

It didn't make the water boil,

And you wonder what all the noise was for.





Tick tack tick tack

Counting down the numbers,

If we only understood,

That the sounds of life need a face.
