Idi Amin - Down I Go

Why can he not return?

(Glorious President!)

To end where he began?

(His excellency!)

Grant him this final wish.

(Field Marshall, AlHaji Doctor)

To return from exile.

(Our decorated hero!)

Here’s why not:

Torture selected by racial hatred.

The volume of bodies clogged the Owen Falls

Hydroelectric Dam.

Major medals self awarded.

Overthrew Aboti.

Dismembered unfaithful wife.

One of many.

This is brutal, irrational, erratic, inept, ridiculous,

militaristic.

In the words of Thomas Patrick Malady:

This is brutal, irrational, erratic.
