Bernard Gabriel Okurut

I am only a mortal thing.

Why should you come like a thief at night?

Wrapped in a mist,

So dark a cloud!

Seek you not to suck my blood?

Rip my heart out

And put an end to my brief life?

      Fear me not,

For I am only a mortal thing

Which in no time will expire.

I rebel not against fate\'s desire.

If you must pay me a visit,

You\'re welcome, I won\'t resist.
