Sekyewa Godfrey Poems

Plea to the Nile.

Hide me oh Nile
At the abyssal height of your feet
...

My Precious Nile.

I sing of the treasures of the Nile.
What a magnificent creature you are!
...

The Saints at Twilight

The dark claws of death downed upon them
Like tongs gripping a glowing coal.
...

One Life One Death.

Elly Tumwine,
Oh my fallen General.
...

The Bull Roars No More

Oh my patriotic General,
Of indubitable seniority.
...

Mosquito.

With excitement she comes dancing
Shaking her wrist in perambulation
...

Whispers of the Moon.

Daylight joyfully brags by
Scudding along the mute sky
...

Cruel Modernity

Dear country man,
Teach me the secret to the new life.
...

MEN IN MASKS

They come in tattered penury
And preached salvation to our desperate souls.
...

I Met a Woman

At the well,
I met a woman this morning.
