Another Orient Plague (& Other Poems)

ANOTHER Orient Plague (& Other Poems) is not only a book title, but the longest monologue upwards of eighty stanzas, and a step-by-step chronology of events showing how the infamous Coronavirus, which brings COVID-19, invaded Uganda, and how its spread was controlled and defeated by Ugandans through the tireless efforts and resolve of their scientists and their no-nonsense President. It is accompanied by eighteen other interesting poems about human destinies and comfort zones; blind love as a possible misplacement; adulthood vis-à-vis childhood with responsibilities that go with it in a day-care home; unity by analogy; legit prison-life; loneliness, decadence and neglect in the homes; consequences of killing an eye on corruption in homes; school-routine and life thereafter; that ancient primitive generation of stones and poisoned arrows compared to today’s obscene one of gender equality, sexuality lessons and stripping naked [nudity] in front of one’s children, let alone, strangers; malaria fever in slums; faith in dreams, big and small; finding comfort in the highest Authority; women-leadership for the down-trodden as opposed to people-power; and so on and so forth.
