INDEPENDENCE: UGANDA.
(Celebrating Uganda at 60)
Ninaishi katika nchiIliyojaa dhuluma,
Sipati uhuru.
I live in a country
Ambapo tunafikiri tuko huru
Yet we are dependent.
Yes! The independence Monument
Speaks It All.
Mtoto anayejiona yuko huru na mfungwa.
Where did the freedom go?
Where did the liberation go?
Where are the Independence Heroes?
My body thinks it is free-
But my mind is in Prison-
It is bound by the dictatorship.
It is bound like that man-
Kumwinua mtoto angani.
Scared of telling him- 'We are forever prisoners'.
Namshukuru muundaji wa mchongo huo,
He had a vision-
Ugandans will never be free.
She will never go independent,
With Juntas sitting on her-
Her laps worn out from the corruption.
Hey Mr Gun mtu,
Nipe uhuru ninaotaka-
I am not that statue.
It is 60 Years today-
You have 36 on your name,
Ugandans have 18-
You know where the 5 years went.
Happy Independence
Mr Oppressor,
You are really 'a true' leader.
