Die like your fake democracy

EULOGY 

When a supposed former leader imposes himself upon a nation
He only becomes a despised dictator
The people will resist with utmost silent vigour
The theft of their will for change, to be governed differently
That is an abomination never forgivable
As they look up to providence for solace
They wish that your end may come in haste
That this Nation, sewn together by a paste of bubble gum
Shall not be torn apart by anger of betrayal and frustration
To die like your fake democracy.

You dictator
It is a pity that you are contemptuous of our collective will
We are a peaceful lot with a poisoned mind
We reject you and despise you in equal proportions
We even sneer at you, with all your weapons and thudding boots in our hoods
Our solidarity and resolve to depose you is in-situ
The ticking time is all that matters, now
For, inside you, you know that you are alone,
Languishing at the departure lounge, about gone!
The People are not with you, and so are their will,
Withdrawn conscientiously in demise with with your fake democracy.

You pitiful dictator
Your boys in camouflage may subdue us and imprison us in our homes
But they only imprisoned our physical bodies, not our mind, spirit or will
Above all, we pay them to guard us, not torment us
But they torture us and dehumanize us, anyway
It is as if we procure these absurdity and pay for insecurity
However, the horizon is moving closer
The mirage of change is cast upon us, inevitably
Inscribed in your mind that we have envisioned a peaceful Uganda
Reborn with a prospering democracy, all without you.

You flagellant dictator,
When you are all gone, we shall bid farewell to your corruption
We shall celebrate the end of your nepotism
We shall cure ourselves of your sectarianism
We shall lay the skulls of Luwero to a proper rest
We shall console the Northerners and seek for reconciliation
We shall restore equity in our social systems
We shall educate our children and create a better future for them
We shall be a free people!

You inglorious dictator,
In our mind, you are history, gone before February 18th
Never again shall you be the President, you are a watershed dictator
Never again shall your legacy matter, it is now like snow flakes
Never again shall you be free, imprisoned by guilt and dishonour
You will need that body armour to protect your conscience
Your best companion shall be that bullet-proof tunnel
Your words shall be empty, never to move a hair on a man's head
Your presence shall evoke rejection of a vote thief
You are condemned
To die pitifully like your fake democracy!

End.
