Uganda

Message to Yoweri Museveni




My dear president

Who art in Entebbe

Hear this young man

In next door Kenya

Accept the verdict of Court

Finding against him.

 

Hear him say

Beautiful words of peace

To his supporters

And to all his people.

 

Yes, brother Yoweri

It is really possible

To honour your people

To speak without threats

To find humility

Even at this late hour.

 

Yes, it's possible

To create and honour

Institutions of governance

That tame dictatorship.

 

The gun kills people

But it never kills history

It keeps you in power

And keeps you imprisoned.

 

Have guns saved a ruler

From his tryst with destiny?

We dare not name them

Who have come and gone

Lest we discover the truth

Of the vanity of it all.

 

I'll not give up on you

For we have seen changed hearts

Of the most difficult of men

With an eye on posterity.

 

Slim chance, yes I know

But still listen to Uhuru

Who loves power and all

And loves to play hard ball

But puts Kenya first.

 

No doubt he hates the verdict

He thinks the Court was bought

By foreigners and fools to boot

But he accepts the laws of Kenya.

 

Listen,  brother Yoweri

Listen, my dear friend

I am praying for you.
