PRESBYTERIAN JUNIOR SCHOOL POEM
In concrete jungles green hearts beat,
in vacant lots where weeds once reigned
sukuma bursts with defiant green. a rebel garden, fierce, serene.
crimson tomatoes swollen with sun.
their out wild look stitching dreams to forgotten lots.
claw through earth where shadow run.
life sprouts fierce in forgotten lots.
hands dig deep, roots develop
burst from loamy beds, defying the haze.
from weathered rocks, hope for harvest grows
urban farms where communities sow and dreams emerge!

LITTLE VINES NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL POEM

Fellow Ugandans and the world at large
Cry for the lost beauty,
of our motherland, the pearl of Africa,
As named, it’s beautiful scenery,
It is no more.
investors, lumberjacks, and farmers,
have degraded our environment,
flora and fauna
will soon become a mystery.
Fellow Ugandans and
fellow Ugandans and the world at large,
Rise up now,
And say no to deforestation and swamp damage
Conserve the environment,
Just in case you need to cut a tree, plant two!

GOLDEN TIMES NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL POEM

In the silence of the break of the day,
empty plates lie in dismay. children cry with no word to say.
as hunger slowly steal their play. no grains of rice, no bed to lay. hope fades like the light of
many mothers kneel down low to pray. wishing just for one good tray. telling tales of lost
buffet stomach echo in a painful ballet in a land where crops no longer stay.
In cities where cars go fast,
we found a way to make food last. We took some seed and made a bed with soil, water and
tools we spread. we planted greens like beans and peas, tomatoes climbing near the trees.
on rooftops high and streets below, we made small gardens and started to grow.
Look at that that pupil! i mean, that sad one always left at home.
never given a plate.
denied a chance like we. and the stomach left without something to eat.
in future see no. seem very hopeless is this really fair? it’s our duty!
with every leaf and root we grow.
we help more hungry people know that even in a place not so wide.
good food can grow right by your side.
so plant a seed and take good care and so you will get some food to share.
a little garden fresh and small can help bring food and hope to all!
