……….ME & YOU



……….ME & YOU by Asiimwe sam Ruhindi



I woke up in grief

As I reminisce on words of grandpa

Before crossing the Styx

He used to tell me the world they lived

How beautiful it was

Full of peace and love

Of which is a myth to me now

Everyday walking up to breaking news

Of bombings around the globe

And I ask myself what happened

Where is the beauty he talked of?

Where did it fade to?

A million innocent lives perishing

Every now and then.

Which world will our children

And children after them live in?

Where is the peace we need?

Who will shelter for the homeless?

And feed the starving?

Is it an angel from blue sky?

More guns on street? ...No, not that

It’s you and me to change the world

Make it a better place

A paradise, not hell.
