very good poem. " Mtu Mweupe Karibu" , my favourite line of the peom.
The British and Baganda are the same type of person. They welcome you with open arms and raise their daggers stealthily behind your back. The process continues like that until you bid each other farewell over a coffee bean or a tasteless cup of tea.
Fantastic poem. Deals with the doubts the black man had at the initial presence of the western world in Africa. Doubts which were wiped away by the African inbuilt trait of welcoming strangers. This welcoming spirit is what allowed the West in to Africa and gave them the grounds to under develop the continent.
Powerful lines and images depicting how the black men welcome the western world. A great poem.
