Christmas 2012
What is Christmas to you?
To me
It's a new pair of Reeboks
and a green Nike drawstring bag
that I bought
for my mom to wrap
For me to unwrap
Christmas is Calvin Harris
& Dizzee Rascal
And headphones
In an empty house
It's waiting for my friend
To get here
Christmas is
Pumpkin spice
Coffee
Drank up

Happy Holidaze
May your days always be merry
And your eyes always be bright
May your mornings always be good
May the goodness always spread into the night
May your loved ones surround you
May their love be a cocoon
May you never be so busy
That you can't look out to the moon
May your drinks always be tasty
May your cup always be full
May your plate never stay empty
May you never feel cruel
May your regular life be suspended
To be picked up another day
So I fervently wish you
Happy Holidaze!
And your eyes always be bright
May your mornings always be good
May the goodness always spread into the night
May your loved ones surround you
May their love be a cocoon
May you never be so busy
That you can't look out to the moon
May your drinks always be tasty
May your cup always be full
May your plate never stay empty
May you never feel cruel
May your regular life be suspended
To be picked up another day
So I fervently wish you
Happy Holidaze!

I could fill my head
With so many dark thoughts
I fill my mouth
With so many curses
And what would it solve?
I can't change you
You can't change
We just have to pray
Pray for patience
Peace and calm
To still angry hearts
To smooth wrinkled brows
To heal broken hearts
Pray for forgiveness
For renewal
All things are possible through Him
All things are renewed through Him
So I officially write this verse
Of my sincerest apologies
Hoping that you will follow me
Back to the friend zone
I have yet to see you mad
Is it even possible?
It seems that
Between us
It is more my thing
Like the color blue
And being on time
However I don't want to go there
Into the place
Where God forbid
Both of us get angry
But I wish you all God has for you
Even when you vex me
Even when I can't stand to be next to you
Because you are my friend
And that's what I do for friends
I hate them
I love them
I claim them
I could fill my head
With so many dark thoughts
I fill my mouth
With so many curses
And what would it solve?
I can't change you
You can't change
We just have to pray
Pray for patience
Peace and calm
To still angry hearts
To smooth wrinkled brows
To heal broken hearts
Pray for forgiveness
For renewal
All things are possible through Him
All things are renewed through Him
So I officially write this verse
Of my sincerest apologies
Hoping that you will follow me

Dear John
Who are you
Please let me know
Because obviously
On this concept
I'm a little slow
I don't even know
Whether you're coming or going
But there is
One thing that I am knowing
Now
I don't how
I ever thought
I could stand on your words
Because the webs you spin
Aren't even strong
'Cause Charlotte fell through
So I tell you
Miss me with all that
You don't even need to call me back
For it is now a fact
That I am officially
Sick of your shit
So quick
To move on from
Disappointment
Ointment
On cuts to the epidermis
That your promises inflict
Your words depict
A nonsensical situation
With liberal splashes
Of untruthiness
And shamelessness
Just know I thought
I thought I could
Turn the other cheek
But you hit that too
As well as the others
So thanks for the memories
Even though they've now gone sour
Every hour I stew
I wonder
Why I'm still fucking with you
Until I say no more
As I leave 2012 behind
I leave you behind
Because I don't
Even know what we're trying at
Anymore
So sore
Icy Hot can't even help me
So consider this
My pissed
Off
Farewell letter
Cut my losses and run
No longer fun
Keep the money
Because I'll make it rain
Dolla dolla bills y'all
Both on Heaven and earth
I know my worth
And it's higher
Than any bullshit
That you decide I deserve
So I
SWERVE
Harder than Big Sean
Because dawn is coming
And I wanna watch the sun rise
With dry eyes
No longer wet from the night before
So never mind me
Forget me
And any guilt
That you wanna carry
From how this shit went down
I didn't put it on your back
This is me mad
Angry Black woman
So I'll leave the Angry here
Just to be clear
And I pray
That Karma has mercy on your ass
Because her bitch rep precedes her
When you meet her
I hope she treats you better
Than you treated me
Signing off
The Queen
Royally pissed
Please let me know
Because obviously
On this concept
I'm a little slow
I don't even know

Tell Me
Tell me
What can love do
What can't love you
When I decide to
Love you
In the only way
I can
I mean that
Real love
So good it hurts love
Can't sleep love
See our future love
Forsake all other love
Share everything love
Wash your dirty draws love
Call me late and talk love
That silent love
We don't even need no words
Mon homme knows I got it
Even though I don't have to give it
Not until we have rings
And all those things
Come together
But I'm not stressed
I'm not stressed
God took His time
Insh'Allah I will too
Tell me
What can love do
What can't love you
When I decide to
Love you
In the only way
I can
I mean that
Real love
That wife love
That mother of your children love
That married love
That commitment love
That Godly love
That African love
That traditional love
What can love do
What can't love you
When I decide to
Love you
In the only way
I can
I mean that
Real love
So good it hurts love
Can't sleep love
See our future love
Forsake all other love
Share everything love
Wash your dirty draws love
Call me late and talk love
That silent love
We don't even need no words
Mon homme knows I got it
Even though I don't have to give it
Not until we have rings
And all those things
Come together
But I'm not stressed

God took His time
Insh'Allah I will too
Tell me

Real love
That wife love

I Cannot Just
-For those whose eyes rest on the Congo. Special thank you to my muse @JJ_Bola.
I cannot just
Close my eyes
To the sight in front of me
I cannot just
Sail past the begging man
Asking for some spare change
I cannot just
Pretend that things are changing
Wars are still secret
Neighborhoods are changing
Changing like five ones
For a five dollar bill
Still
I notice
The white people from cross town
Are now the white people down the way
Will be the white people down the street
Eventually the white people down the block
While all the melanin leaves the neighborhood
Bit by bit
I cannot just-ify
The guilt I feel
When I hear my country
Being called to task
For murders of innocent lives
And for what I say
When does power
When does control
Mean more than a life
Mean more than lives
I cannot just
Forget what I know
Praying to God for a better day
For mercy on Judgment day
For those who care not
Who thought
Bloodshed in the darkness didn’t count
I cannot just
Hide from where I am from
Because those who lead that beautiful place
Think only of themselves
YES I AM UGANDAN
Despite who leads it
Despite who mistreats it
My ancestors’ bones will always rest there
I cannot just
Pick up a gun
And be an avenger
To defend the defenseless
As much as I want to
All I can do is pray
All I can do is write
All I can do is speak
For those souls
Who have no reason
To just die in vain
All I can do is say
FREE CONGO
I cannot just
Close my eyes
To the sight in front of me
I cannot just
Sail past the begging man
Asking for some spare change
I cannot just
Pretend that things are changing
Wars are still secret
Neighborhoods are changing
Changing like five ones
For a five dollar bill
Still
I notice
The white people from cross town
Are now the white people down the way
Will be the white people down the street
Eventually the white people down the block
While all the melanin leaves the neighborhood
Bit by bit
I cannot just-ify
The guilt I feel
When I hear my country
Being called to task
For murders of innocent lives
And for what I say
When does power
When does control
Mean more than a life
Mean more than lives
I cannot just
Forget what I know
Praying to God for a better day
For mercy on Judgment day
For those who care not
Who thought
Bloodshed in the darkness didn’t count
I cannot just
Hide from where I am from
Because those who lead that beautiful place

YES I AM UGANDAN
Despite who leads it
Despite who mistreats it

As much as I want to
All I can do is pray
All I can do is write
All I can do is speak
For those souls
Who have no reason
To just die in vain
All I can do is say
FREE CONGO
Allow Me To Introduce Myself
Eh eh emmm
Let me clear my throat
My words are the things
I use the most
My name is Mukisa
M-U-K-I-S-A
Music at its best
Wouldn't have it any other way
My age is dub four
But I don't ride on tres
I don't believe in rims
But I believe in wheels
Rolling on to somewhere
Where thangs get really real
I'm so CHI
Born and bred
But I also rep UG
For the ancestors who are dead
Then there's Namakula
From the Lugave clan
Armadillo is my totem
From my dad, the man
The man in my life
May he Rest In Peace
He's the real reason
I'm not on the pole
Or out in the streets
Namakula means precious
So that's the way I walk
If you have nothing to say
Why bother to talk?
Agatha makes three
That's my daddy's mama
I live life calmly
Don't know much 'bout drama
I also like mysteries
So Agatha goes with Christie
But I always come and go
I don't know if you missed me
But here I am now
So let's sit a while
Talk about each other
Find a reason
A reason to smile
Last but not least
The family name of Kibaya
Chee BYE UH
If I was italiana
It would be Cibaya
Meaning generous
I give
My words
My thoughts
My truth
Because as a youth
I knew how to keep
Keep quiet
Keep silent
Keep hidden
But not anymore
So much better
Than before
Mukisa
Namakula
Agatha
Kibaya
Nice to meet you.

Welcome reader, to my blog, Giustizia Poetica!
Giustizia Poetica is Italin for Poetic Justice. Italian is near and dear to my heart, and I guess people don't use it much here, lol.
I created this blog for hype about my writing career as well as to sharpen my sword. Please check out the website for my debut poetry collection, From Me To You. ..... I can't believe it's been a year since I self published it. Check it here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/search.ep?keyWords=mukisa&categoryId=107125
Well, also I feel that I have so much to say about life. This blog is just here to artistically note and observe the trials and triumphs in life. I will write on some things that I know of. Please feel free to send topics you think I should speak on at mukisanamakula.ak@gmail.com. Please also tell me how much you love me or how much I SUCK.
Without further ado, jjangu! Come, let's go!
