Speak Out Poem by Caleb Tukahiirwa

This world has proven unwelcome to our dreams
As day starts, today, a child with an ambition
One of becoming a somebody, somewhere, anywhere
Determined to bless and touch the earth from within
On his way it then happens; suddenly, it appears
He faces it, failure, discouragement, it hits him down
But he’s forced to think it’s just part of it, they say
Its part of the road in our lives; one must fail for once
This a phase that has become so much part of our days
Made us think that success is only rising from failure
Like he who fails not first never achieves great success
We’ve lived in that elusion that is now become reality
It’s now a step, a stage, part of the process to the top
So we’ve given it a place in the road, a special place
A place before we get there it’s now a bridge to success
This bridge where many souls have not been able to cross
They’ve been lost, lost into our wrong earthly decisions
Decisions like none finds the light unless from the dark.
These that have made righteousness seem far fetched,
As now one has to reach the very darkest part of life,
So to rise later and declare to have seen the bright light
The weight of the testimony is righteousness now to us
Made ourselves the judges to what we know not about
