Mandela okwiija owa Leeya

Rukiga

Clare D.  Kyasiimire

Omwoojo yagiira ati ‘Ingaaha’, Obusingye tibukayongyerwaho amateeka”

Ninga empiingo zikasibwa  emponoka y’ekirwa kya Robbeni

Omuhara yagira ati ‘Ingaaha”, “Okumanya tikurikwiiriza kujogoora’ 

Enkojo, koonka batiine bwooba,  kureeba busimba amaisho g’o mwirukazi wa Pakistaani

‘Ingaaha!  ’Okwikiriza tibugyemwa’-

Iraka  ry’obukwatwa, ryebundarize koonka ry’obujeemu omuri Dapchi.

Orumuri rweye rutaraaziibwe omu maya g’Abakananaayo.

Nbwenu, kuruga obwe bwiire, eiraka ry’obujurizi  ryaguma nirirangaara-

Mandela, Malala, Leeya Sharibu- orumuri

rwa “tihariho  obutooro-Prometheus”, 

Endimi z’omuriro n’ekyeshongoro bibona obwatikye;

Byoogamu, biraba  omuri Chibok na Dapchi, 

Kwaakira ensi yoona
