Our Journey in P.7 Class
The first time we came,
We were clueless,
The first time we came, we were hopeless
And nobody else had hope in us
But then we started climbing the stairs of success
We were like birds that had just learned to fly
We were so new to the class that came before us
We are fighting so hard to make all of them who never believed that the weak can also make it.
The grammar we had was never heard before
And if anything heard, it would weep, cry, and die
But there came an English-Ugandan man born in the Busia district
Who taught us English we lacked
We called him the ‘JOKER’
There came a mathematician who was faithful and if he had a problem with you, he would not keep quiet and courageously tell you.
All in all, we are learning maths
And he always said “Above and above, below and below”
This was to understand angels on parallel lines
We called him the puzzled man.
A scientist came forward and said that
He could help us know
How we came to be
Although people thought he was moody
He was one of the best teachers that had ever taught us
Last but not least
We were brought forward to meet two historians
A man and a woman, who taught us what
the world was and what it has come to be
Success awaits behind the door, just knock.
