ENOUGH

Don't bother reading this book if you are not ready to change what you know you need to change.Sometimes we write to make things right. Sometimes you read so you can take the lead. This book is for those that can't stand it anymore. When society settles for what should unsettle them, disaster is always imminent. For decades, post-independence Uganda, just like most of post-colonial Africa, has suffered bad leadership, corruption, a sick healthcare system, bureaucratic incompetence, human rights violations, war and conflict, endless humanitarian crisis, violence against women and children, among other injustices. Sam J. Ssemaganda is a Ugandan journalist, poet, and activist that has watched it all. In this anthology of poetry, he is rallying his country and Africa to walk the talk and say Enough. This book takes you on a journey through everyday life in contemporary Uganda, the struggles of the voiceless victims of a collapsed social fabric, the fate of the flock with the 'lost shepherd' and plays as an amplifier to his voice for change. In spite of these, the book's beautiful balance comes along in pieces on love, hope, courage, resilience, Uganda's unique natural beauty, and efforts by those willing to play an individual and collective role in shaping the future of the Uganda, Africa, and world they desire. As you read on, feel free to let your power for change play on!
