Its a feeling that I'm not quite in place
The place I'm supose to be
Here amongest the civilized who share my blood
I was born wild in this house of elegant beauty
How alone I am in this mass of strangers
Oh how I long to be amongest the heathens
Who howl and prowl in the open night
They are my home
But forbidden am I
And forced to act civil
Oh how I must look to my kin
Whose wildness was tamed
I am a sweet rebel in this world of rules and laws
Oh proper world and all its amenities
I just want to be with my kind
I just want to be understood

Sitting on the floor because I don't like the fall
I only gave the illusion I was up, but it's here I've been after all
I try to trick myself into thinking I feel grand
It was my confusion, it was my plan
But it didn't work, hell the truth is I can't even stand
The true is I'll always be ******
But I do try to enjoy just a few comforts
Amongest all the hurts
A fresh cup of coffee, the smell of bacon
On the stove top frying and making
A cuddle with my dog, by the way her name is Pig.
I loved the movie "Babe" and "That'll do pig"
I have a twisted mind which is quiet an accomplishment
Considering the world wanted it shattered not bent
But I don't want your hand I'm quite content
On the floor here where I sit
For if I stand to tall
There will inevitably be that nasty fall
And just one more time and I may not be able to come back at all

Bio
My name is Thomas Bron Mukama
I come from the hills of the west of my country
Born in the cold during a busy day of labour
Joy sprouted when i touched the soils
In excitement was grabbed and held to the sky a sign i had descended from there
God had released me amongest men named mukama as my heavenly father
The birds taught me to sing though not to fly
They flew down to the ground where i should stay not the sky for i would have no company above
The mountains werent shaken and i delight in climbing them
Am a son of hardwork laid not in amanger rather in bananas
I grew to learn i only limit myself
As i stand in abilities unseen besides foretales

I once hid amongest the shadows.
I hid with them for so long that
the Shadows became friends, family, everything I needed.
They understood my pain and made it theirs.
Cried when I cried.
Screamed when I screamed.
Stayed silent when I was silent.

They even understood the storm that was brewing inside.
They used their own darkness to cover the storm
so when I looked within it was black.  
But I was with the shadows out of fear.
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of reality.

One day I grew and left the shadows comfort
each other no longer afraid but sometimes
I long to live amongest the shadows again.
For they were, after all, friends, family, and everything I needed.

The hills, a chain of ups and downs, touch the sky
While the clouds go about their business.
The water, without taste, runs out and into the jugs
while the birds talk amongest themselves.
I watch the hills once more and have that memory of water without taste in my mind.
While the sun goes down just a tad bit.

At night, the Cool night,
The solitary night
I wait for you.
The crickets mutter
and the wind plays amongest the leaves.

At night, the cool night,
The lonesome night
I wait for you.
The stars send hidden codes
and the moon, the luminous moon
talks slowly.

At night, the cool night,
The confided to myself night
I wait for you.
The creatures do not stir
For they hear a sound so foregin
The clouds protect the stars and the moon
Clouding what they might see.

I catch my breath and
my lungs cool over.
"Its me" you say
Its you I say
At night, the warm night
The acompained with my love night
I run away with you.
Who of all these will put me down
The serious and lazy all together
Casual and combat ready for a mission.

Much as the back is built with terror
My succcess is assured to the throne
having been there time and again
Just like you can't teach an old gorilla the
paths of the forest
Equiped with experience and
shinning with medals from
the previous wars.
Am blocked from reaching the peak
but before death holds you captive
your plan is never a failure,
like soldiers never run out of invasions,
a star fights to maintain position
in coldness or sunshine.

There is nothing sweeter compared to living
successfull
You carry prestigious names with no pay
All a close associate to thousands.
Blow the trumpet to his entry for
the jungle rule applies.
only to test how patient and
tactical you can over look danger
to a dream.
Too much sharpness can cause failure
As a single bracelet doesnt jingle
boiling situations in abundance only to start,
test and run with sour conclusion.
A simple bomb clears hundreds to the flow
but though amongest plenty the brave ones
survive. Let the last man stand

He searches the crowd.
Scanning the familar faces
and
the unfamilar faces.
But alas he cant find what he is looking for.

Maybe the one he wants is lost in the ocean of faces.
Hidden amongest all the smiles and scowls.
Maybe he has gone under drowned by the laughs and sidetalks.
or
maybe he never took the plunge.
Not able to dive in.

And the one who searches
is wasting his time.
Scanning the familar faces
and
the unfamilar faces.
Just wasting his time.
Well this was written when i got back to school was looking for Trip but didnt rind him. it seemes as if he aint comming back.

The wish that won't come true
Could it be love in my heart...?
No
Could it be the friends I ask for...?
No
Could it be the family I want...?
No
The wish that won't come true that I want
Peace and love amongest the world
Every soul is kind and gentle
Every soul is soft and sweet
Every soul is a great soul
If only...
That would be my perfect wish for the world
If the world was like this. Everyone could smile without a problem every day
The time she takes collecting the material
Organises her thoughts
On how it should appear,
It's her fulltime job
Once she's up very early
And before she sets
Foot in bed.
She grows it to her position
Of perfection,
To Endeavour it's the best
Amongest all of a kind,
To sacrifice all and see it shine
Even in mysterious times
To all times she stands to defend
her own creation or even opt for
Change in design.

When age suppresses
Her control to it
She keeps the insist
Of weaving it
Never is she tired of
Her duties and never
Does she plan to retire.
mothers care for their children and never get tired of assisting them even while grown ups

His name is on the tip of my tounge
It held an angelic, harmonic sound
as if a bell or two were rung.

His name floats around somewhere in my mind
Ran away when he left for morning
Searched my clouded head but I cannot find

His name. What was his name?
Perhaps its hidden amongest the tangled sheets
I cannot remeber I'm in shame

What was his lovely name?
The time she takes collecting the material
Organises her thoughts
On how it should appear,
It's her fulltime job
Once she's up very early
And before she sets
Foot in bed.
She grows it to her position
Of perfection,
To Endeavour it's the best
Amongest all of a kind,
To sacrifice all and see it shine
Even in mysterious times
To all times she stands to defend
her own creation or even opt for
Change in design.

When age suppresses
Her control to it
She keeps the insist
Of weaving it
Never is she tired of
Her duties and never
Does she plan to retire.

Along the path of grass a legend grows
for who skips along the path in early spring
A bird of prey will dive landing on your shoulder
He will calm the savage beast rolling deep
his eyes will guide you to this land forever
this place known as legends promise..

If you walk the path in the summer all is silent
when the moon becomes full owls stir restlessly
don't forget legends promise it lives true
if you place a flower under a willow tree
all hearts will never be broken when love enters..

Many legends live true in the world of fantasy
some believe they are not true just make believe
in the eyes of the Indian all you see and feel is good
it is when you run away that shadows appear
never directly face the sun in a month you shall suffer
so if the moon hides behind a cloud in summer
it means your winter will be long and cold..

Amongest each path you travel a legend grows
there is not knowing that one shall always believe
it is never wise to turn your back when it rains softly
If you cannot enjoy a soft rain it will hail the next time
so collect your thoughts let them float like bubbles
there is more truth then you know..

Rise sun, oh brightest star of them all. Take pity on the weary, for your power, intense heat, your consistancy, can be exhausting; bringing high climaxes, and sweat upon ones brow, often times showing no mercy. 
Cast yourself upon open fields, across plains of flat and plateau, through cracks amongest thickets of trees, seeping through even the most thick, skies of grey. 
Bringing energy to life, or retracting your right, your presence-well known. The abundance of your will can not go unrecognized nor unseen. 
Stream upon vast skies, susceptible to your suited liking. Over baring can your harshest of ill moods be. 
At days end, peek of dusk, at last you retreat to offer the beauty, the calm serenity of your moon. Greatful for your splendor, but welcoming the moonlight- your relief, brief rest from your consistant, sometimes sweltering offerings. 
**You shall rest once more upon my shoulders day next and speak again of your bold admissions for all to recall.

— The End —
