if i should die today
xilas 2002 (kampala)
If I should die today
Let me die a young man's death
with less regrets of my life
With many rights otherthan wrongs
It would be lovely and a free death
I wish so much for my mum's absence
For she doesn't deserve to see today
Hope not to create trauma to my lovies
Leave them satisfied with my time with them
with happy faces and good for memories of my time with them
And not to weep for I did die today
