……….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.
