​I hold you like I’m going to kiss you       When you get closer to my lips ,my teeth can’t avoid you!I bite into you once and my eyes close to taste your saltiness and softness.

The taste of you with raw vegetables is so heavenlyI’ll bite you once ,twice all that while closing my eyes!As you slide down my throat to my stomach, I realise you’re no more!

The final bite mesmerises me!The soup from the vegetables softens you and the taste of you makes me crazy! The last bite is surely a fight piece and I could give up the whole of you except the last bite!

I can have you for breakfast,lunch,supper and when I’m eating to pass time.I’ll eat a rolex and specifically byona fresh made by mwene wayife as long as it exists.

Spoils of war

East, west, home is best!

People say so and I never believed so until my home was no more. 

Reaped away from me by wielders of fire power; filled with greed and envy in their stomachs and hearts.

If only those cowards had claimed my home without an arsenal, if only……

Would they have seen me fearlessly fighting for my home like a lioness fights for her cubs. 

They drove us out of our home to the thorny places we now call home.

If only they knew how painful it is to find comfort in thorny shrubs!

Shrubs which are also ruled by hungry lions, the type hidden under sheep’s wool. 

I drop a tear because our children and grand children will live never to know what home feels like.

I drop a tear because our children and grand children will live never to know the Dinka culture.

I drop a tear not just because of war; I drop a tear because my home is gone.

But still; I hold my head high because,

I am a proud Dinka, I am forever a glorious South Sudanese.

Be nice

Being nice to people is the only weapon you can use against all your challange and can be a challenge if not done well.Being nice to people is a lesson I’ve learnt and tried to practice all my life.
The other day i was reading Ben Carson’s Big picture and I came a cross a chapter about being nice to people with limits.Days later I was listening to Joel Osteen an American preacher and he was also emphasizing that we should be nice to people because our lives preach something out there.
Ben Carson in his book say that as you are being nice aim at doing the right things not what people expect you to do in the name of being nice.
Ben Carson explains that when you are very nice to people,they at times take you for granted and I’ve witnessed it.People will either take your being nice for weakness and other will misinterpret it.And I’ve learnt that all you have to do is have principles and be assertive.
My worry is about Ugandans.I’ve at many occasions watched people being nice to a person because he or she is a foreigner.They are also  nice to beautiful and handsome people,The rich and who ever is considered special.Most people in my country select who to be nice too and ignore the people they’ve stayed with all their lives.
Mr Nyesigire told me as I grew up that it’s important to be nice to everyone irrespective of their background simply because you will never know why this person is in your life at that particular moment. He also told me never to take for granted people who are nice to me.I’m glad I listened to him and I’ve witnessed my self using these people I was nice too as a stepping stone to my next levels.The problem comes when you are already at the top an you forget being nice to these people you used as stepping stones to the top.Once you forget them they will forget you too and once you fall you may never get other stepping stones to the top.
Be nice to even the smallest person in society everytime opportunities present themselves.

Letter to my grandchildren

Dear grandchildren,
Grand ma has something important to tell you.I was born in a small country called Uganda.It was beautiful,very green ,lots of organic food and fruits.As I grew up, there was alot of development and lots of buildings,roads and industries were put up.Amongst the industries were polythene bag industries.
Very convenient plastic bags that everyone used to pack whatever they had in their hands.
They were widely used and other countries started sending their manufactured plastic bags to our country(uganda).
With people’s carelessness,in very few years the soils were suffocating with plastic bags It was later discovered that they (plastic bags) don’t decay and so were a threat to the soils.
The government tried to stop them but because of corrupt officials that were bribed by the polythene making industries,it was hard to stop them.People continued littering the plastic bags not caring about the future children like you.
The plastic bags started spoiling the soils and organic foods couldn’t be grown anymore.That is why you eat manufactured foods that will cause you so many disorders and diseases.I tried my best to warn as many people as I can but I failed because they were selfish.some of them are still alive suffering from terrible diseases that will rob them of their lives.Dear grandchildren don’t be as selfish as the people of my time.What you do now will affect your grandchildren.
ALOT of love from your grand ma
