Namukolo Covic Poems

Why do you do what you do?

I am human, your brother, your sister
A mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, a friend
...

COVID-19 you indeed are not a friend, you have a heavy heart
No, not a friend, when you bring so much misery upon us
You kill grandparents and pretend to spare the young
How can they be spared when you take away their parents
...

Namukolo is Our name
Me and my grandmother
Me and Kuku Namukolo
It is a nice name, our name
...

Happy birthday, son
On this day,47 years ago
I brought forth into this world
A bouncing baby boy.
...

I suffered and endured for many years
And I finally decided to leave
I packed a small bag and left
He told me I would crawl back
...
