A CALL TO THE PRESIDENT


Tell him that some have refused
That they are democratically confused
Why you can't instead tax their breath
As a perfect gift for their Wreath
It would also curtail lugambo
Yes it's a it would a gamble
But they would talk no more
Because a kawukumi is normal
They say.
.
Get to the President
I have News from his resident
Who has turned into a squatter
Nolonger with land she can call her own
Will Whatsapp, facebook and Instagram Tax ressurect her hope?
Wait, Is vision 2040 for all ?
At least not Umeme Yaka Subscribers.
How about education for all ?
Is Nodding still a disease or a syndrome?
Any way Uganda zabu
.
Have you seen him?
Tell him a tax payer still buys a police letter
He finds health consultations expensive
Politics here politics there
What happened to the ten point program?
Have you heard about NSSF?
That its benefits are got after a long cue for decades
With years of saving religiously for the nation
And for the women you empowered and emanicipated,
Did they understand it?
That will be for another season.
