Walk Through Kampala

The Will of Hope

For it is with the will in my heart that I walk this path
Knees weak, heart weak, soul weak
But push I must
Strive I must
A second ticking, is a moment lost
A day gone, an opportunity passed
No time to cry
No time to weep
No time to look back
I push on
I push on…

For it is with the will in my heart that I walk this path

Knees weak, heart weak, soul weak

But push I must

Strive I must

A second ticking, is a moment lost

A day gone, an opportunity passed

No time to cry

No time to weep

No time to look back

I push on

I push on…

Hustling Oranges

Today or Never

Hallo? Habari? Dana esteline? Sawubona?
I send these greetings to you.
Will you please, will you may
Will you take one or two?

These oranges sweet. Oranges are bright.
They’ll soon be gone
No longer ripe

Kwaheri. Goodbye. Veloma. Sala kahle.
No thanks. I do not want
Perhaps, maybe another day
I’ll buy them all for lunch

Yes oranges sweet. Oranges are bright.
But sorry son
The time’s not right
