Logan

It could be the time Says the man who saw his death Cross legged at his apartment's balcony His ears hear only silence Its the darkest time of the night Perhaps this is what death sounds like  He's finally embraced insomnia Alive through every single night His life seems to emulate the Wolverine's The politics of reality finally consuming him He has but one option left, fight Fight for this one thing he chose Fight for this one life like puss in boots For man hasn't the luxury of all 9 lives Some people have chosen us over others We can never let go of the things we've built His outer man seems desperate But at least his inner man is rigid The future looks brighter Yet his end feels nearer This could be the time Says the man who saw his death 

Crippling Dawn.

"You may not believe, but I am a very different man now" "I am a different man too. What do you want. Get out of here." Moghin shouted back bitterly to the beggar that had interrupted our coversation. The miserable man was respectful enough to leave us alone. I kept on wondering, "Have I been here? Will my life ever get to this?" I understood the scene enough not to entertain a second thought in their shoes. I clearly observed that both these men meant what they said but none of them was one bit empathetic to the other. The beggar's speech only craved for sympathy while the man next to me was the pure opposite. Cold and bitter. Life had played her cards on them both and won. Or as Ugandans say, "life humbled them." The night was cold and it wouldn't stop drizzling. We had stopped by " Chicken Tonight" to buy some time off the disturbing weather.  "I was the sole beverage supplier of that city for close to 10 y

Murky Certainty

Finally, he was in today's dream destination. A place patronized for its beauty and high end lifestyle. What more could he asked for. Many would not mind leaving this life after a mere successful journey to this pearl of the Middle East. It was 1pm. Dubai was not as hot as expected .He was glad he had come along with his jacket. Now in the arrivals queue, he found his way to the waiting area. Everyone seemed to be everywhere. Of course he first paused for a selfie. At the waiting area's extreme end. Richard paced restlessly around his seat. Droplets of sweat were now visible on his forehead in the City's cold breeze. " Whats going on ?" He subtly wondered as he attempted to make another call. His host's phone was suddenly not reachable. They had planned to meet at the airport earlier on before he left from Uganda. Now, there he had it. Ghosted. It felt like there was no one anywhere now. He didn't know a soul in this big city. He had now given

Goosebumps

"She envied you but deeply admired you. Every statement I made about you gave her the picture of the woman she had always wanted to be. I couldn't help but bring your name up mindlessly in her face. Everytime,"I lowered my gaze as I realized how deep I had gone with this talk about my ex. Perhaps that's how much the woman across the table meant to me. The evening had been a beautiful one afterall. Imperfect situations always turn out to be the most perfect moments. We had trodded from our business meeting venue. Now in the heart of the city, in a rear basement restaurant. Barely populated, we could almost hear each other's blinks. She maintained a comfortable body language, like always. The short phrase had sunk deep into her and she obviously looked flattered . We both knew it but barely could do a thing about it. Nostalgic moments like this had filled up most of our conversations. Even over the shortest voice calls. " Ngooluddeyo boss wange,&quo

Asylum

Sipping on a dark coffee Staring at the smoke after every puff He finds a home away from home A motherland now crippled By a handful of selfish humans  The bullet finally replaced his ballot She had told him she was his alone Now in a land that is not even his He wanders to wonder How it ended with such ease Months behind closed doors  Living through lively nights and dead days She doesn’t like the girl in the mirror Lowering her gaze under the light Wishing days could only be nights But it took only close to an overnight For her to get to know she was the pearl In the dark sea’s deep depth Controversies and toxic feuds  Another is like a refugee in a land of his own The rut getting deeper but camaraderie stronger But with a playful weekend for them all Even the scars are starting to fade  Perhaps asylum has sought them عبدالجبار  Kampala Nov 2023

Subtle Elations

I   am still learning how to walk The talk has been a big part of me Getting all your adrenaline rushing Only to call in and find me  Barely started with my race As I make baby steps A talk starts to walk about What is he up to these days? My limbs threaten to quit  But my subconscious sleeps on it This walk is getting better Better and better every other day I only hope I don't wander I am also learning to be much calmer Everytime that I feel closer I feel a deep love For my brothers  Everytime I see them having my back These men from other mothers They've been pillars in my deepest agonies At least I am breathing Always up and kicking Reaching out for the best And having it together with the rest A lesson many young men haven't Lord am grateful My glass is half full but my heart is full I often shrink but you always magnify me My chest is warm amidst these hustle horrors But I equally grin within, I'm freaking elated Jabbar, Nov 2023
