Ssebo, the Seven Hills!

Uganda, let Kasubi Hill, Mengo Hill

Kibuli Hill, Namirembe Hill

Lubaga Hill, Nsambya

Kampala Hill—all seven hills

Watch you and weep.

Ssebo, your people say

“An elephant can never fail to

Carry its tusks”

You also say

“One who keeps saying

‘I will listen and obey’ will be

Cooked with the corn cob

Ssebo, I saw the seven hills

Irritated, their bellies shook

I don’t know what they harboured

For I don’t know the ways of the hills.

Notes:


Some disturbing news from Uganda. Two dead, 100 injured, Dr. Kiza Besigye ( the Opposition Leader) literally stripped of his human dignity. I weep for Uganda.
