My Poetry
Where I Am From
I am from the mountains, flowing rivers and salty sea
From the equator and little, small farms
Feel the hot sun and rays fall on you
I am from English and Luganda
I am from Christianity
Bible almost your everyday meal
Obeying and praying all times
From God the Creator of heavens and earth
I am from a responsible family
10 in one is my family
From 3 brothers and 6 sisters
Always getting on my nerves and always loud
The Tucker family is where I belong
I am from shy, quiet and happy
From pink and purple
Am from the famous Nile, thick forests and Lake Victoria
I am from my mother's belly
From the supportive lady
Who cares and loves me
Hugs and kisses me all the time
Making sure I am happy and safe
From Africa the land of unity

All That Glitters is Not Gold
People you see are not what they look like
Only if you could see deep down in their hearts
You could see how cold they are
They look perfect on the outside
But on the inside they are bitter or sweet
That’s why God hides our hearts
Cause some of them are a shame to be seen
Only a few people are like what they look like
On both the inside and the outside
So when you are searching
Search deeper in the hearts than the looks
The part to search is the inside or heart
Get to know your inner hero better
Change something that you shouldn’t want anybody to see
So when people are searching for your heart
For love, they find the perfect life!

Babies
Babies are lovely
If am with them, there is never to be lonely
They are cute and beautiful
My love toward them is irreducible
The way they talk, I can’t resist
They are so sweet and polite
When they smile I see light
If babies were flowers
I would just pick plenty of them everyday
Because there smooth faces
Light up my world
Such cute things deserve to be loved
That’s when God said
Let the little children come to me
Now I know why
Because babies are angels.

Music
Music is life
As some people define it
But everyone has a different clarity
For me music is like a talent
That we all have
But express it in our own way
Music is something to dance to or perform
When lonely, happy, sad, bored
Or in different state of affairs
Music is a gift we all received in different ways
Some of us can write music
But can’t sing it
Or the other way around
Some can read it
But can’t sing it or write it
Some of us can move or communicate through it
But there are some of us who can’t do
Any of the things above
But you are not alone or forgotten
You've still got a talent that others don’t have
That’s why I call music a talent
Not life cause some people don’t have that talent
But we all got life
Even after death
You just have to believe!

God is the Creator
God is the creator
He created heaven and earth
You and me
There is nothing wrong with his creation
So why try to change it
Why treat it different from others
Why try to destroy it
Why ignore it
Everything he created is right
Everything he created is perfect
Everything has purpose or reason
Why it was created
Even you and I have a reason or a purpose
You should be treated like the person next to you
You should be loved the same too
His the universal creator
Who created you and me!
