Flag Of Uganda Poem by Ima Ryma

Flag of Uganda, colors bright,
Six stripes of yellow, red and black,
For sunshine, blood and ethnic might,
Of living forward, never back.
A white circle in center be,
In the circle a gray crowned crane,
Fabled for its gentility,
National bird of the domain
Of Uganda, Republic of
A people striving to live well,
And independence be first love
To have in time and place to dwell.

The crane's raised leg is message sent
Of Uganda's forward movement.
