SAY AMEN (ORIGINAL SONG)

This is the first song I wrote. It is a testimony of one of the biggest obstacles I had to overcome. If I could become a better person from a turbulent situation, anyone out there can. Never give up and always be optimistic.

CELEBRATE LIFE

The value of life is something not take for granted. Our life is precious  and waking up every morning with a new breath of air  is a miracle.

So many have past along like the youth. What wrong did they do? Some things are left unanswered.
To hear about an ambitious young man lose his life to a heart condition after playing basketball, and an exuberant young lady lose her life to cancer, makes one appreciate life more. Both young adults were
goal- oriented and had bright futures ahead of them, after acquiring nursing and dental degrees respectively. Unfortunately the script was written differently, and their lives were cut short. Life is short, therefore one should celebrate life everyday.

We should all strive to make the most of our lives, and express love to those around us. Without love the world can not move forward.

ARISE

Arise son, rise from your slumber. The world needs healing, start believing.

Unravel those hidden talents from the grave,  as the world crave.

Arise nation, as terrorism is a common denominator in the modern world, we adore heroism.

Our dear soldiers, we cheer you from afar as you risk your lives.

Our hearts pound with every move you make, and every breath you take in the battle field, with hope your families will see your next breath, in the Christmas winter.

God bless you soldier, the soldier we truly love

Arise church,  come out of the four walls and fight morality in our society.

Church, don't even dare try to scare the lost souls, welcome everyone with love

Arise people, we heard him say, "The sun shone brightly down on me as if she were shining for me alone" Yes! It is true, the sun knows your significance and potential. Only if we can live as one with no prejudice, we can truly see the power of unity.


Arise, I say arise.

ONE LOVE

A DECAYING WORLD

What has happened to the black pride?

All our forefathers with a stride of enthusiasm left a perfect benchmark

Martin Luther, Nelson Mandela and George Washington Carver to mention but a few

Uh wee! What a treat representing the wit of the black world

Corrupted by the material world and a scourge of moral decay,

Our so called heroes today are leading the young ones away,

Leaders in Africa have turned their countries to their own,

Sitting at the helm like a monarch of Pre-Revolutionary France

Engulfing all the wealth as people strive to maintain their health

Black –on- black violence is the very essence of life,

Look no further to the Darfur Conflict and the Rwanda Genocide, what has come of this world

The Hip hop revolution, an avenue to show the talent of a brother

Has become a venue for sin, representing women as sex objects, we all bother

Women are the catalysts of new life, how can we abuse God’s precious creation

Have we forgotten we are created in the likeliness of God?

Our bodies are not meant for pleasure and destruction, but to treasure

Our bodies are to speak life to fellow man

Vice is what I see written in many churches today, advice is no longer a priority

We all need to stand for what is right and show the enemy our might.

With an embodiment of humility in all our works

Seek the Lord passionately for he is the way the truth and the life

The foundation of character should be centered on God

Then we would see a world without violence and corruption

But a world of unity, love and compassion

Is this a satire?

Look at the attire this poem wears and be enlightened

I wrote this a while back,  here is a song to go along with it.

RISE LIKE THE SUN

Who said you cannot come out a better person after adversity. Surgery after surgery I felt very empty and life had no meaning. But I was encouraged by those around me, and I felt I was given another chance. I sought out ways I could make a difference in the lives of many and gain satisfaction from my own abilities. The pain I went through made me realize how precious life is, and no one should take it for granted. So I made up my mind to find out my gifts and talents. I decided to write a book that can inspire people who are going through difficult times in their lives. Just to put a smile on a face of someone who feels all hope is gone. The book has a lot of encouraging words of wisdom in poetic form and quotations from the bible. I continue to write words of wisdom and encouragement, whenever I get an opportunity. I thank God for giving me a second chance to express myself. If I was able to overcome multiple surgeries and still be positive, there is hope for someone out there. The image of a sunrise in Kampala comes to my mind. it is a new beginning, do not look back look forward.
