2020
Mutesi Sharon 2005 (jinja)
"2020" is a year of great memory
A year that taught us cleanliness,
The fight and struggle for lives.
The young and old both in the struggle,
Struggling for the best of their peak
Aiming to stay for mor beautiful years
The year 2020 leaves the world in the valley of survival
And those who can survive can live
Now life is for the warriors of life
And luxuries are for the brave
And determined ones.
It came to destroy and snatch
The world never to leave it peace
It sticks in the brains of the young and old
Rich and poor
It came to live for 20 hours per day
In twenty young brains per century.
Sharon Mutesi
