ASIIMWE SIMON ROLANDS Poems

He fell in the world like dripping rain
He shone on the land like a moving star
He walked the way that was full of pain
The journey was tough but he walked far
...

When I think I’m out of it;
And think waving to it,
And think myself out of the pit,
And of me flying away like a kite
...

They sit in groups of threes,
All lost in their rags.
Besides them, are tins,
And others are old bags.
...

When your face faces mine,
In my heart, something starts to grow.
And every day I see you coming down,
I watch you from the corridors of the first floor,
...

WARS IN MY ERA
I know the world keeps on going,
And my hope keeps on falling.
I can hear them mourning,
...

You hold my heart with ought falling
You’re the dearest gift from above
That has the best glittering wrapping
And I hid in you so you’re my cave
Where I shelter when the rain is falling
...

Oh my love…
You hold my heart with ought falling
You’re the dearest gift from above
That has the best glittering wrapping
...

Mama said to me
“liL simon, never you be you
Never please you
Please me who made you live
...

Each of us got a foot
Yet not all of us walk
The road is for the few
Those who got a shoe
...

When you waved to me, Amanda
I liked it in my blindness,
I thought there were many in Uganda
Far better or in your likeness
...
