@drstellanyanzi Come back home.
Come back,
for the hour has grown heavy,
and the silence of our streets
has lasted far too long.
Let us return with courage in our souls.
Let us stand together and fight
for the country we still believe can rise.
Some may fall along the way,
and sum may live to se
It is a deep honour for me to wake up to Uganda Poetry Society @uganda69597 sharing an excerpt from one of my poems on their socials! It warms my heart to know that although I am in my fifth year of living in exile, the poets back home in Uganda remember me as one of their own.
I love you, my people at Uganda Poetry Society. I am still writing poems to stay sane. I am still reading and reciting poems. I am proud to be a Ugandan poet, even when I am a refugee.
One day, I will return home and rejoin our poem-ing sessions.
