Joanna Amiteye

Bounded up in chains,
But the hope of freedom lingers.
For the soul that perseveres,
Victory is the crown.
...

Ask me, what I wish to be,
To answer - I would say to you
I wish to be the pride and pleasure of my father,
The delight and desire of my mother.
...

Consider all the day break calls
The daily chats and texts
The endless sweet talks and banters
The numerous good night messages
...

With diligence mama worked.
Without discontentment or complaint, she prevailed.
Strong or weak, she persevered.
Laziness among her colleagues, she avoided.
...

Mama has her own moments
Moments she keeps to herself
Dejected and betrayed
Moments that become ours too
...

I may be just that child
Who lives in the town
Where school dropouts reign
But I am not a truant
...

Call it Coronavirus or COVID-19
Only ensure you don't catch it
Read about it and be well informed
Offer help to those in need -but
...

Please help me to pray
So I am not led astray
For I want to do what is right
But I always lose the fight
...

For this reason He was born
To reconcile men to His Father
Abandoned His glory above
Down to earth He came
...

So today I am alive
And this is the time to sing my praise
The right time to appreciate me
Call me not because you need a favour
...

There comes Lady Bugabuga.
Ka! Ko! Ka! Ko! She strides.
Attracting all attention to her six feet curvy figure.
Seductively dressed in a one yard costume.
...

You came in like a wind
Blew away my pain
Thought you were of a kind
But you left like a plane
...

Why do you doubt my love?
Truly, I love you and you should know that
To my heart, you are the treasure it longs to keep
Without you, the void cannot be filled
...

When you try to stand, but cannot feel your feet
And you make the move, but your legs fail you
When you try to speak, but cannot find your voice
And you cry out loudest, but cannot be heard
...
