Where is Our Home, Where is My Country
By Zack Jive Blessing Kampala, Uganda
We are mistreated in foreign lands,
We always think of going back home
But where is the home we want to go back to?
When we walk in the darkness,
We always get suspicious
Because we might get into the hands of the cops
Where is our home, Where is our country?
–
Who will dare us in our own country?
When we pretend,
And engage ourselves in their activities
Segregation must be exercised
Either indirectly or extremely
I am really tired
And feed up of being in foreign land
Where is our home, Where is our country?
–
There are so many good institutions in foreign countries
Good ones than what we have in our own country
But when shall we start building our own good institutions?
There are good roads and airports in the neighboring countries
How many of such do we own in our own country?
Where is our home, Where is our country?

There are few cases of food shortage in part of the world
Tell me if food shortage is not the main issue to our citizens in our country?
There are Thousands of youths who graduate every year in some country
But how many of us always join military
And graduate by owning two AK 47 or so?
Where is our home, Where is our country?

Other people laughs at us because are swindlers
We fight our bloods
But does that even make us to stop and say sorry to them?
Other people tends not respect our reputations
Just because we don’t have respect for ourselves
But tell me who really give a damn about our dumbness?
Where is our home, Where is our country?
–
Our Neighbors are minding their business when they see us messing
But do we really mind their business
And may be call for their helps?
In some parts of the world
People are busy building their future generations
But aren’t we busy killing our future generation?
Where is our home, Where is our country?
