THE FEMININE JOURNEY-TOTAL ANARCHY

Mothers bore babies...
Babies grew into girls...
Girls into little ladies...
Ladies into mighty women...
Women into Mothers...
And the cycle went on..

But could there be another path?she asked...
A girl into a gentlewoman...
A gentle woman into a man...
A man  into a father..

Alas!!! Is it even acceptable??? 
Society asked
Can we go far in stretching God's hands...
The Potter chose that trend for her...
He thought it worth to fulfill her purpose,
So she was made to be a great princess of His...
He made her beautifully and wonderfully...oh and fearfully
That every beholder of her beauty would envy the maker...
And society accepted her..
Gave her a beautiful name..she suited it perfectly...
Then they gave her a feminine learning so she would a mother someday...

But No she wanted to be....a man!!!
So she chose a woman for herself
One she would bestow love on..
One that would play Eve for her
And He gave her away too

Society mourns with a breaking heart..
It can no longer take her...
She betrayed her destiny...she stepped the limit
Because the Journey had already been marked out.

I AM UGANDAN

I am Ugandan,I am an African....and I have been taught in the ways of eloquence, etiquette  and life 
style that holds a mixed meaning....

But when I sit to understand who I am,
I find an African lady...
one with a  genteel way of speech,careful walking,

And I look to respect the African man...
A heart of obedience to the ways of my lifestyle.
A lady,an African woman,a Ugandan.

I speak a language not of my origin but I understand my fellow country men when they speak my birth language...regardless of the language I speak...I lead my people home...

I sway with delight,laughing all the way in  giggles of the Ugandan soul...
I smile with  with contentment that has been bestowed by the little meaningful joys in my life...
I sleep with a satisfaction that I am in the right skin...The dark sun burnt African skin...
And I boast within because with in this careful,wonderfully,fearfully made being is blood...
African blood...Ugandan pride

I AM UGANDAN

DO WE REALLY GO PAST IT ALL?

Today I was so taken at the pattern of my thoughts..I love Uganda and am glad I hail from here but what good can I testify in the trend of things lately?
You see we have been raised to classify ourselves from a tribal view...and am tired of blaming the West and its role in this,i for one believe that when they left our country they gave us the power to change every aspect of their existence on our land in what I term as creative destruction,we were left to create a common history and a common direction for our future as Ugandans...but we chose to move on in the left colonial system.
On the issue of tribes, language and  every other aspect of culture am taken back to realize that we as Ugandans live everyday against each other,we are not Ugandans in our home land,we are either baganda, banyakole, bagisu or we are Muslims Christians and so forth but we never adhere to the fact that we are Ugandans unless we are out of Uganda.

On the issue of development and progress,What are we up to Ugandans?It is very disturbing to know that our legislatures(who are by far many)can table the most degrading policies and bills,take for example the two bills that have recently caused  chaos among our laymen- the marriage and divorce bill and the pornography bill.Lets be real when did legislatures take the place of the church and the mosques and how is one's marriage and it ending a concern to Ugandans deepest needs?The pornography bill, seriously aren't we shooting ourselves in the foot,or aren't we turning this country into a religious battlefield,The minister virtue of the fact he hails from Karamoja knows better than that not to table such bills but to bring forth issues of the locals of Karamoja.
When legislatures sit in the parliament to debate child's play bills am so marveled. Suffice to say is that we were at a time when we were tackling the scandals in OPM. Which had reached the most steaming point and emotions were high for those involved and all of a sudden these two bills are table before our very eyes we got distracted in the accountability issues for every Ugandans taxes and donor funds,don't we ever want to reduce the cancer of corruption that is eating on everyone moral fabric?

50 years after independence and you will smile in flabergust!!!I will tell you Ugandans,You have one big ref feral hospital that can deal on most of your health issues,mark my words one that was built by the colonial bureaucrats years after a certain man was sworn in and promising that his government was not "A change of guns but of fundamental change"and even today Ugandans are still waiting for that fundamental change. Obote 2 (not that he was the best) saw it best to have 22 districts and in each district he put a ref feral hospital today we have 132 districts in the need to decentralize but these districts cannot sustain themselves or even bring social well being for the people and Ironically people cry and eat rats for districts.

So much is pending a lot that is limited by space and time but imperative to all Ugandans is the need to cause a smart and creative destruction of the old colonial systems and infrastructure(power as well).
To create a nation with Ugandans and not tribal chauvinists,to create a productive population(will dwell on this one in my next blog) You see a country can only development in an equal measure to its population and sad to say we are one lazy population with a great beggar syndrome. To create legislators that table bills on skills development projects on building better government institution,on creating a problem free population.Our greed as the people of Uganda has left in an investment junk economy we take on anything as long as it bring ready market and taxes but the problem is on what product they are selling to the Ugandans(On the case of sports betting,am so disgusted)We need a love for our country something the majority lack.Only then can we move forward a s a nation and a state called Uganda.

MY NEIGHBOUR'S HEART

Why do we seek perfection in others when we  are equally imperfect?
Why do we refuse to forgive when we were also forgiven?
Why do we hate yet we have been loved?
Why are we mean yet we have been given?
Why do we hurt others yet we love peace for ourselves?
Why do we discriminate yet we have been  chosen regardless of who we are?
Why do we judge others yet we have been spared from terrible histories?
Why do we despise others yer we have been favoured?
Why are we self righteous yet we are all sinners and have fallen short....?
Why.... do we love ourselves and forget our neighbours?
Aren't we to love our neighbours as we love ourselves?

THE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED

Do you remember how your brother gave you a call just ti check on you or how your friend gave you some moneyout of sheer care?

Do you remember how your friend called just to let yo know they miss you...all these we often take for granted and look at them as r andom things our friends and family ought to do...

But they go a deep way in making us feel special in every little way,We often take for granted the fact that we eat,breath and do all we can every single day..but   only when you  see some one at the verge is when we can contemplate the need  to be here and celebrate everyday like a miracle...

So everyday as we go about our daily routines may we stop for a second and thank God for yet another day,for good health,for the friends we have because in every way they make us feel special(it is not everyday that we find stranges that love you for who you are and want to know you better) for your family because it completes who you are and where you hail from.

In every simpl thing we do let us be charged to make these things special because they make life the miracle it is,yet we often forget  and take them for granted.
