After The Wind Blows Poem by kawoya alosius

After The Wind Blows



After the dangers the wind has caused,
We will be refreshed with new hopes,
We will forget the troubled times we've been through,
All the trauma the wind has caused will be history,
The hatred against each other,
That we harbored during the wind storm will be gone,
Our sons and daughters will be free to inter marry,
For the winds that separated us will be gone,
As the rain stones melt after a down pour,
Our differences will melt after the winds blow,
The dust mountains they built between us,
Will be eroded in the deepest seas,
And we will live forever like brothers.

After the winds,
We will get a new song,
Our tongues will rhyme with happiness,
With our enemies we shall dance,
Our eyes that were soaked with tears,
From fumes that filled the atmosphere,
Will be washed with delight,
And for our beloved ones that we lost during the winds,
We will say a national prayer to them,
We will be filled with a reconciling scenery,
Our children will be free to play alongside streets,
We will walk with our pregnant wives,
With fear of no toxins in the air.

When the windstorms are gone,
We'll embark on nation building,
Creating an environment our lives are worth,
With no one above the other,
An environment were life's serenity is experienced,
A sign of unending love,
Where tribalism, politicism, will be thrown in the trash,
When nation building will be our top priority, ,
Even when the darkness comes to one of us,
The other will light a torch,
And the way will be bright,
Because the winds will have gone.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Everyone heard about the trying political times that faced Uganda after the 2011 general elections and the police brutality that was put on people who had riots in the city over the famous walk to walk demonstrations.within these ties teargas filled the lungs of everyone even the young ones who would be in schools next to where the rioters were.but because the winds had to blow, I wrote this piece to give encouragement to my fellow citizens who were suffering from the brutality.
