THE ORPHAN Where do I begin from? Everyone has what to call mum & daddy It’s a one man’s solidarity for me Except my opinions and the beautiful queen acquired! As a result of toiling in Lugazi plantations It’s the same place that gave me this two When the kids Uniforms for last year are giving way, The pens & pencils were used during Christmas Their lunch might be what my only rib used, To beautify herself on New Year So where do I start from! When the land lady the previous night Almost slept at my veranda, Her voice is so sharp when am a defaulter Her steps can be heard and followed for a half a kilometer Should I blame her, No? After all am her usual liberator from the same problem I have? So where do I begin from? The land my great grandparents used Stands now a big secondary school bordering the town Taken from my hands when I was physically absent From my drunken Itesot dad who wanted To enjoy the last days of his life, So I have land in somebody’s hands now Where do I start from? It would be a point going to church Am sure I will have to? The small income I gather using my bodaboda Taken a way in form of involuntary contributions by government URA calls it Taxes through daily consumables and basics Then my boss comes for the balance Am left deserted with no money Where do I start from? The politicians, pastors & sorcerers Seem to be sharing the same lecturer and professor They have all the best words and promises for me, Prosperity is where am headed to As the other knee walks for votes The other want tithe twice a week The latter wants me to take risks with a hope one day I will be rich, Either I believe the latter or none It’s only God to come for my rescue That’s where I should start from!
