MASAK'CRE.

-
An excerpt from the Masaka Massacre a Black Lines Poetry Collection compiled and Authored by Nagwere Gerald.
(A letter to Ugandan government)
R.I.P father,it reads.
Epitaphs of the fallen marked in code.
When will this genocide end?

They die today,
Tomorrow they are buried.
For it is of no use to keep them up.
For God will guide them up.

Has it become a curse to be born 
In Masaka?
Has it become a right to be victims of the Massacre?

The land of coffee and Matooke,
Has become land of the slaughtered and blood...
Our precious home is no longer home.
It is a den of dead bodies.

"East or West, home is best"-
Will never be,
And I know how worse it is-
A father slaughtered today,a mother buried tomorrow.

"DEATH TOLL REACHES 30" -
They say,
Yet they do nothing...
They just wait for lamps of rupees for "investigation" .

Thank you -Enjoy...
Enjoy the news headlines,
Enjoy Masak'cre headlines.
Enjoy the genocide.

Blame it on Politics...
Blame it on what you think...
Blame it on what they say,
For we need Justice not a politi-que.

DEAR SEX.

  📷 iStock Photos.  Dear Sex, To be frank, I don't think you are as bad as they say. You might be killing  me slowly, But, everything on earth is temporary, Why don't I hug you anyway. Dear sex, I have a feeling of having you everyday, Because when I embrace you, What matters is... The size, colour and the bed. I feel so uplifted everyday when we sit together. I know there is somewhere I missed protection, But I am proud I withdrew safely, I believe no one is infected, If there is, Why are there no victims. So how dare they say I am a victim- When there are no victims. Dear sex, I know,you are not addictive- As they say. When I am driving, I pace in intervals, Until my partner complains about my speed. I should have been so critical, But honestly, I am not a baby in this game. Sex,  You know you want me to stay in shape, That's why we play when my eyes are closed, So you set the tone, And I use it whenever I want to meet you. You actually didn't tell me,...

May God Uphold Thee

📸 Source Is X. ( For My Liberation Poems) Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee, We lay our future in thy hand! What if there was a mistake? What if all this was a lie? A lie our fore fathers sung to us. United, free, for liberty, What if there was a hole in the hole they call Parliament? What if there is a Mole in the group we call legislators? What if the Judiciary is now just a name? What if they rule us all by the Iron Fist. Together we'll always stand. The Panthers preached, Day after day, after day. Our brothers bleed and disappear  From Potholed streets. Mothers wail, Brothers mourn, Fathers fall, Children weep, For the disappeared and the 'system' doesn't care. Oh Uganda! The land of freedom. Where we are not allowed to ask for the disappeared in public. Where we are charged for treason  Because we walk for our rights, And this doesn't bother the 'system'. Our love and Labor we give. Paying taxes for the debt we don't benefit, For Stolen Iron sheets, F...

Shoot Me In The Head

  📸 Disclaimer: I don't own the Rights of this Photo . (My Liberation Poems) Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head, For Speaking Out the truth, The truth that stings you. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head If you embrace corruption, A vice that stings me. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head Because tomorrow- I will still walk on those streets. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head Because, if walking against corruption Is a crime, then I will walk again. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head, For Speaking against stolen Iron sheets And a corrupt economy. Shoot Me in the head, For studying with my grandfather  In the same Walls That now look Blood thirsty, For age has drained them. Shoot Me in the head  For Speaking out on what stings Him and him and them, and her. Her who doesn't look like her Who is married to a commander in chair. Shoot me in the head, If ...
