The heading to this is downright sexist but again who cares?Plus.."A mistake done in good faith is never a mistake." An Indian saying goes so.
This katiny poem is for the finest of Eastafrican poetessess.The ones who do poetry that makes you curl your toes and say "mmmm,yes..."

A SOUL AT ITS PEAK.
Her veins have burst,
the sides of her mouth are dripping with a priceless fluid.
Her body twitches to eternal calm
but her heart is as it should.
Her body might be dead
but her soul is at its peak.
She fed on poetry

A UGANDAN CLASSIC by TIMOTHY WANGUSA.

This classic piece is one that you read and go like; ’enough said’ no word ought to be ejected or added to this masterpiece. I hope you enjoy it.

It leads me into paths of loans and pensions, For its international reputation’s sake. Yea, even though the valley of the shadow Of Kivvulu I will fear no Kondos; For the state is with me, its tanks and guns comfort me. It preserves for me a bank account, in the presence of devaluation; It fills my pockets with allowances, my salary overflows. Surely increments and promotion follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in senior staff quarters forever.
