Came back to watch this masterpiece again. It's as powerful as it was watching it live. Well done Kabera

[@cedricmutayisa307]

This is so sad. And yet the art is so beautiful. God have mercy

[@naugustine9075]

Powerful, sad and strong. By speaking she has given a voice to so many women who feel they cannot speak. I pray you find healing and peace. May you once again feel safe and may you grow to be stronger than you ever knew. You are no victim my young sister...you are a survivor, an overcomer. The world thought it could break you but it only made you stronger! Blessings and wabale nyo nnyabo❤️❤️❤️

[@NamataDoreeen]

She made me fall in love with poetry.this is the best poem I've heard. It's sad, educative, beautiful and it gives me pride as a lady.

[@pretapeacenamasaba4393]

This is an amazing poem! The narration and imagery are so vivid. The symbolism, metaphors and repetition are all on flick. The topic of rape and sexual harassment that many fear to talk about has been boldly approached. As a young girl, I truly understand the dangers of the boda boda stage. This spoken word has gotten me in my feelings🤧🤧🤧 Kudos to you Kabera!

[@lisandobho]

Came back listening to this masterpiece🙌🙌🔥damnn

[@julianakodet3049]

This caught me staring at the screen and listening to this beautiful girl giving a beautiful sad poem. She's really good like she puts her all to it. I love this. Totally in love with this. Wow.

[@omarajoseph4982]

The recitation is good. The tone and the mood bring out the feelings clearly. Indeed we can agree with William Wordsworth that poetry is spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility

[@kisakyepromise8305]

The mood s really amazing and a voice of any lady, girl or woman

[@nankundawinnfred3340]

The way am falling for this poem;every line is jct lit..though I couldn't hold my emotions..she is jct talented

Anyone have a contact for the poet? We would like to involve her work in a larger project.

[@teenpoetryslamug256]

I dont you are serious about your interest in getting touch with the poet.If you were,you would have tried visited the Facebook,Twitter or Instagram,which are all provided in the links.And the video shows the owners of the platform.When you are serious,contact us for real.Thank you

[@heddwynkyambadde3832]

teenpoetryslamUG Wow. We didn’t think our comment called for such rude abrasiveness. We shall be in contact. Thank you.

[@teenpoetryslamug256]

@@heddwynkyambadde3832 Its not rude.Its just straight forward talk.The performer is a school student and in school now.No one is going to give you her number,1 -cause she is a minor and 2nd ,because you'll need permission from the platform or the parents to involve her.Also cause most people here in the comments are visitors to the channel.If you asked for contact info for the platform or the school patron,it would have been shared right on.But that wasn't the case,and it is why you got the response you did.Sorry if you feel attacked.Peace

[@heddwynkyambadde3832]

teenpoetryslamUG there are more polite ways to communicate online than your initial response. Our interest in contacting the poet certainly requires reaching their guardian first for a great opportunity that your platform afforded. Whoever handled the initial response was rather unprofessional and needs to check their grammar as well. It doesn’t hurt to be respectful of one another regardless of the scenario (especially when you’re handling a platform of this magnitude).

But there must have been no boda boda rider in the audience. They were sitting on their motorcycles at the boda boda stage.

[@nahabweruth5512]

Boda boda stage has layered meaning. It can be the actual stage but it can mean any place where girls, women are assaulted by men

[@hat880]

Thank you Ruth

[@KINGANNEvlogs]

Her poem is lie it's self

[@pretapeacenamasaba4393]

What do you mean? You think rape and sexual harassment is a lie?

[@timothymukalazi1551]

The art of poetry exhibited is good. But on the contrary I find this poem so toxic especially for our sisters in a single girls' school. It paints men as devils which isn't the case bcz even the fathers of these kids are men and I don't think they harrase them as the poem depicts. Let not the few untamed men be a point of reference for all men. At the end of the day these girls have to find themselves a befitting man but with such intoxication we may end up seeing girls opting for fellow girls since men are harsh, are trash etc. Men are good people not trash as u say.

[@teenpoetryslamug256]

Hi Timothy,please understand that for a rape victim,the world looks unsafe ,and men as one .To avoid this kind of stigma,Its upto us men to make the world feel safe for them,listen and stand by them,show them we care and we are not all the same and as we do all that,We need to make sure the men found guilty of these acts face punishment or prosecution.FYI, Kabera is a 17 year old student who took the time to listen to girls that have been through this hell and decided to speak up since everyone else acts like nothing is wrong.Its okay to not like the poem,but its not okay to not acknowledge the power she exalted .However,thank you for your comment.

[@Br-gerty]

It's so sad I have hated this video.its too feminist for me to watch !I cannot imagine being a man is criminal in this era.the many take a blame of the few .You look back at Eden at realise we lived without!until the fool submerged in the devil!!!

[@justinntule9072]

Not criminal. But sadly this is the reality of life as we get insulted every single day while our Brothers cheer on.

[@naugustine9075]

What’s sad is that many good men are more offended by her than by the fact that she was violated in such a way. What’s sad is that many women on this planet are surrounded by good men who will lift their voice against feminism yet stay silent when they hear and see how some men behave. It is only a few bad men giving a bad name to the good men, so why not tell them to shut up? Then no need for the poem. If all the good men stood up and were heard, we would have little need for these types of videos and good men will not feel attacked. Problem solved. Cheers!

[@katoelden95]

I have come to a conclusion that for any rape case , the victims must first play very important role , before being raped officially , like drinking Alcohol, dressing naked

[@pretapeacenamasaba4393]

So you're blaming the victims?

[@wambuimuthee1881]

since when did women become the gatekeepers of men's selfcontrol???????

[@edgarmwanguhya]

Feminism makes the best young brains shallow and superficial. This is not for me
