They Are Punishing For Your Sin – Tamale Mirundi Jr Writes Poem To Late Father

Tamale Mirundi Jr has vowed not to apologize to his family claiming that they are just punishing him for his father Tamale Mirundi’s wrongs while still alive.

This happened days after the family disowned him saying that he is very disrespectful to them and the other people at large.

Tamale Mirundi while still alive was very vocal and so is his son. After refusing to follow the other family members to apologize to Buganda kingdoms here is that he has to say.

Dad, you loved us all as much as you loved #Uganda

Your own family now chooses whom to love

𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒚 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒚?

They have cast me out, denied their 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅,

A son, a shadow they cannot bear.

I bear a name that is now feared,

#𝑻𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒆𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒊 the man they have slandered.

The sins of my father, they say, are mine

But I will not bow down and I will not blur the lines.

The dead are dead, their deeds are dust,

Yet here I stand, I must persevere.

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔,

They want to bury the 𝑻𝑹𝑼𝑻𝑯 in the stories they tell.

But I refuse to bear their shame,

For what is a son without his 𝑵𝑨𝑴𝑬?

I hear their whispers, sharp as knives,

They cut me out of their little lives.

But let them hate, let them forget,

For 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒏𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆.

Dad, your voice still echoes deep within me,

A fight for the 𝑻𝑹𝑼𝑻𝑯, for the eyes that see.

I will bear these battles, scars and all,

Even if I fall in the process.

So call me wrong and call me lost

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔

I will carry this cross, I’ll pay the price.

For what is it worth to live free?

If I deny what made me Mirundi Junior?

No, I will not bow, I will not break,

For the dead are dead, and I will not faint.

𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆, for better or for worse

𝑳𝑬𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑴 𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑮𝑬𝑻 𝒀𝑶𝑼, 𝑩𝑼𝑻 𝑰 𝑾𝑳𝑳 𝑵𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹!
