Quietly you roar! Desperately you moan
You stand tall as the Kilimanjaro
the wealth of you boggles human definitions, beyond description
you are Uganda, the heart of me, the heart of Africa.
Your ageless eyes have borne bloodshed,
corruption beyond hell’s flames, and still you stand
so proud, beyond submission
daily you mock those who seek to squander and rape your goldmines –
outlive every scheme
Patiently you wait, heart never wavering,
embracing all, forgiving all
I love you Uganda
Every morning I awake to the sheer magnificence of you
Beyond comprehension, how you hold me together, giving me so much
never demanding anything in return
Uganda the heart of Africa
Life starts, ends with you
the wildest shades of gold, deep bold scarlets, boundless blues,
and heart wrenching grays steal my heart
no I don’t mind
Let the rivers roar and oceans rage, let the sun sizzle and burn,
today you stand defying the 53rd birthday claim:
you have been here forever;
and here you stay, ageless, without end.
