A penny or a smile

it doesn't make us any better
if we simply pass by
without lending a hand
if we just stand by the side
or hide in taxis and cars
sliding up the window fast
just before the beggar comes by

however it doesn't hurt
to hand a penny
or a smile out of heart

without going through all the jumble mumbles of complaint

Grow into us

i will be me
i will grow to be me
and if you live to be you
and grow to be you
we'll paint rainbows
with our colors of uniqueness

playing parts

i believe in tomorrow
i believe in better opportunities
i believe that we all deserve the best
let us play our part 
and give others the chance
to shine beyond the sun

High days

What is to bend low
is it to fall to the floor?
Or is it to get ready to rise!

A troubled young millionaire

i had dreams of my own
i wanted to work hard
i dreamed of a great career
masters,  phd, doctorate and going back all the way
but now here  i am
stuck with these heavy bags
of millions of dollars
watchin agataliko nfufu
and...
what...? am now a billionaire
oh my, when will achieve my dreams

Bliss paradox

am lying in the middle of the road

am the beggar on the street

yeah the one that just got knocked down

and now am living the dream

in a luxurious ambulance ride

moving at presidential convoy speed

yeah, i just got fired

a day after i was hired

guess i was already tired

now am a free man

ready to chase the Ugandan dream

i am a millionaire

oh, that was yesterday

am now broke like today

but guess it was  all futile

now i can focus on what matters most

i can now love

i can have true friends

i can live the fuller life...

The part of us

there are things we like
then things we are passionate about
then people that we love
there are things that have our eyes
sounds that have our ears
and people that have our hearts
