When Poem by Katusiime Jeresi

WHEN
When I used to dream dreams am still dreaming
And love was a honey sweet emotion
When I used to greet strangers like long lost friends
And communutty was a cocoon tightly bound

When necessary evils where unnecessary
When money was like leaves on trees
And we almost swept it into
The heap to be burnt
When hate was just another word whose spelling we happened to know
When young and free
The clear blue sky was a screen
Where wispy wild clouds
Formed images of our thoughts
When smiles had a heart
When hugs were warm
And hypocrisy wasn’t gently dressed

Just as love was bottled to be kept
You loved me with no condition`
