YOU LOVED ME

YOU LOVED ME        BY ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

Storm over my soul
Thunder and quake in my heart
Fear in my vein
But am not shaken
Because you loved me

In absence of parents
You cared for me
In absence of friends
you were the best friend
It's because you loved me

You wiped off my tears
Fixed my broken heart
Drew off my worries
Healed my wounds
Because you loved me

You're my crying shoulder
My resting place always
Source of my joy ever
You make my life meaningful
Because you loved me

My people have obulated my soul
To wicca for richness
But you,you gave out your son
To rescue my life
Because you loved me

PATRIARCH

PATRIARCH  by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

Here your lying in crypt

PATRIARCH your always in our hearts
Ruhindi family.

so silent like old rock
flowers are smiling at your life
why did you cross the styx?
leaving me alone in this furious world
would you get up and talk to me
Did you love me?
If you loved me then 
Why go with matriarch
Tributaries of tears run
in our hearts always
Yawning to see you again
Vesta became my matriarch
and brother my patriarch
It's hard to bear this 
feeling when it's hard
to believe your absence
your people oblated us
To wicca for richness
would you wake up
and hold me closely
telling me everything is okey?
Oh patriarch patriarch.

SMILE

SMILE by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

My lighting system

My every day outfit

The scent i wear always

Makes my life brighter

Makes me fresh ever

Takes away my grief

Rubs off my weary

My day to day language

To young and old

Makes me look younger

Looking winsome

My weapon in hard times

Smile you’re my companion

AT THE FUNERAL

AT THE FUNERAL

by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

Its dawn the morning cock is alarming
The whole land is quite and cold
Everyone is grieved and crying a river
In soft voices saying he was a good person
Slow and touching melody playing behind
Words of compassion to family of the deceased
Words like I will be there for you
This at times ends with the ceremony
It’s the time when good speeches are said
Covering your worst part of life
As they lay fine decorated wreath on you
The priest will bless your soul
As they move you down the cemetery
Where the priest will say to soil goes back soil
As they low down your casket in 6by 6 hole
In white tiles with a cross crying for the last
It’s the time they will bow down for you
Respecting the work of your hands
Saying goodbye and they will miss you
Oh yeah it’s at the funeral

WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD?

WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD?

by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

As I walk down beautiful

Streets of Kigali in a warm

Dawn song birds are singing

It’s a safe state for me

But I draw thoughts, thoughts

On the other world am so

Fascinated by the past

And the t present world

It’s so wild and violent

Million lives perish day to day

Still young and innocent ooh!!

Avarice of natural endurements

Being the catalyst of the scenario

A strong question runs my mind

Who will save the world??

Is it an alien or an Angel?

No it’s me and you, you

Love and unity being

Our rhyme always

To make the world our home

Areal paradise not ruin

The world is you and me.

 

WHY

WHY

BY ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

In every dream I dream of

In every thought I think of

Every question I ask my self

Remains the same why?

I wonder why some do great

Others become so jealous

And I ask my self why

?

I wonder why some people are greedy

Avarice and bounties colonized them

Great people have gone

Their memories light our path

This world appreciates in their absence

And my question remains why?

Advise that you’re inconveniencing

Then scorners raise their vocals

Everybody wants to be on top

We share red blood, same tears

As a sign of brother hood

A slight difference in skin colour

Foolishly leads us to racism why?

Natural endurements light our world

Man shed blood for it

Innocent young blood become orphans

We are all passer’s by

This world is not our own

My wish is work together like

Ants preserve our dignity

MOTHERLESS

MOTHERLESS 

by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

Day after day night after night

Time passes away but I can’t find

A way to forget you mom

You produced me, breast fed me,

You showed me a mother’s love to a child

Oh am motherless mother less

When the winds of the nights are so cold

Even in the dark, your absence lights up

I look up in the sky hoping to see you

But I can’t I only see the stars moving

And I do believe that in those stars

One represents you my dear

Oh am motherless

Have you ever felt so alone and nothing?

Makes sense that’s how I feel right now

I feel like I’m facing everything on my own

With nothing but tears and a fake smile

Oh am motherless

I close my eyes so I can sleep

But your smiling face comes back to me

I put my hands in the air to hold you

But I find my self alone

Oh no am motherless
