I live in a Garden

I live in a garden;

a wonderful, beautiful garden city;

Kampala the beautiful-


I live in a jungle,

a wild green florid jungle

with trees green and leaves large

grass underneath, lush, green, dewy;


I live in an orchard-

avocado, mango, pawpaw, pear,

trees waving around me,

birds in the guava behind,


I live, a king in a palace-

Kampala the Beautiful;

jungle garden city,

lush with leaves, green and dew

everywhere a tree, reminder of

green jungle past

that the concrete jungle of man

barely keeps in check;


I live in a garden

the valleys, hills, blue skies, waving trees

grassy soils and dusty roads

of Kampala the Beautiful.
