SWEET UGANDA
Beautifully summarized
Far beyond description
Only stars meet the count
...
Fertile like no soil
For weeds and crops to sprout
So homely beyond comfort
A mother for the cursed and blessed
Absorber of all shock
Recipient of all that strikes
...
To think and think
Then fail to reason
To look look and beyond
Then fail to see
...
Same as Seen
So differently felt
As seen in the mirror
All as the Opposite
...
Early I rose to face the world
More like the jungle
To eat or get eaten
All i knew, either i fought
...
They talked and talked
But little os spoken of them
The walkers of the talk
The cried for the truth
...
Once it was, what we thought
Felt all time, confessed all day
It is all we see, and never imagined
The truth as it comes, not as wished
...
Set in the barrel of success
All alone i stood
Equipped with dreams
I set out for a world
...
I was born raised and educated in Uganda, grew up up in a humble family with both my parents. As the first born of four children, i grew up bearing in mind that I had to set a good example for my siblings.This was not to come the easy way as coupled with i hard work I had to live a life of never giving up in anything i choose to do. I started writing poetry in 2002, sadly I lost my first sketch book of 101 poems after which I for a while gave up on poetry and tried writing scripts and stories but resumed poetry in 2010 following the death of my very good friend.. I love writing whatever my mind conceives..I run two online pages: Saint Aziz de Writer on Facebook and www.writerpilot.blogspot.com I have great love for writing and hope to write for the movie industry one day. Professionally i am a Commercial Pilot as well as a Flying Instructor. My Book: 'VOICES OF MY MIND' is undergoing review)
Sweet Uganda
SWEET UGANDA
Beautifully summarized
Far beyond description
Only stars meet the count
For my Country's Beauty
Small like a treasure box
A home beyond horizons
That East or West
Uganda is the best
A pearl among beards
A Lily among Roses
A crane among pelicans
A source of voyage
That sends the Nile miles
Rain all year round
Green all that surrounds
Fresh cool breezes
From Lakes all around
An image so alike
The Biblical Eden
People so happy
Cunning and wise
Hospitably Homely
Nice and welcoming
To a home like none
The pearl of Africa
Parks parked with so much
Wild of all kind
Flying, crawling and swimming
Cousins of mankind
Swinging all around
Squeaks growls and roars
Closing down the jungles
Sweet sweet Uganda
A home beyond my wishes
A wish beyond my desire
A gift special beyond thanks
An answer to the special prayer
That all the beauty and Love
We always stand to say
For God and my Country

A hyena can never lead a vegetarian campaign..
Its never about the prayer... its always about the faith in the prayer.
A lion's smile is a deer's warning.
Faith is a silent Bell of success.
Life is this bridge between life and death
Amazing poems Very inspirational
