Amama Something

(By William Odinga Balikuddembe)

Honourable Servant,

Let them scorn that know nothing:

You are Prudent

They say you are Arrogant

You are Brilliant,

Intelligent,

Independent,

They say you are Adamant

They know nothing;

Nothing!

Do they know what’s Important?

They know nothing;

Nothing!

On your side some are Permanent

Permanent because they are Conversant

Or they are Dependant

But with this, this thing, where shall we end?

They, they, are making you a Serpent,

By your side no one do they want

Not your son, your daughter? Not

Amama, do you have friends?

They, they say you don’t

Or you shouldn’t

They know nothing;

Nothing!

Nothing more than Amama Something:

Amama Youths

Amama Journalists

Amama MPs

Amama Ministers

Amama Soldiers

Amama In-laws

Amama …s

Honourable Servant,

You can choose to be Obedient,

Or Defiant

But what is in the Covenant?
