A Poem: The Umoja Centre

By Michael Gombe

I was sick and I didn’t know of what disease

I ran out if ideas, clear thoughts to analyze

As the time went on as my future demoralized

What’s so bad, my hopes and wishes divorced

Optimistically, I got a place where all of

these are restored

It’s Umoja Centre aerial and bolded

I call it workshop where my mind being fixed

As I know an empty mind is a workshop of the devil

That’s why I study hard to reach the high level

Fight against poverty, through the education

From me, my sons and daughters,


the coming generation

To make their life better, they need this transmission

English and computing,


I am not very far from   globalization

Prosperity to talents and subjects to make myself infusion

I learn key skills for my life, daily with clear perception

I can’t get enough, library is the only reason

Enough teachers, riding bicycles then early at school

I think clearly before taking action, my decisions are cool

Empty stomached, empty minded,

on my plate with ugali

Power cut off, the generator applied as the plan A

It have to be filled up, station with the cash pay

When the sponsors thriving, things go ok

Big support from volunteers,

a new basket for the market day

Imagine of planted trees,

hone the fertilized land with nature

Now, have grown up, cool, breezy,

one year is not  a tenure

I see the way to my future, with Umoja I am sure,

I hide myself under it, to make it happen

If my life is in Darkness, Umoja is my Beacon

I am the Umoja’s soldier, forefront as my Icon

I love it during, I can shout it loony

The only place of sending, learning and funny
