In the land where the sun kisses the horizon,
Where the spirit of Africa dances with pride,
A great soul has departed, leaving a legacy,
Henry Kyemba, a name etched in history's tide.

Born in the year of '39, a spirit awakened,
A flame ignited in the heart of a young soul,
In the midst of an era fraught with turmoil,
He strived to make his mark and make us whole.

Oh, Henry, a proud son of Busoga College Mwiri,
Where knowledge is nurtured, and dreams take flight,
You walked that great Hill, full of vigor,
Absorbing wisdom, embracing the gift of light.

With the courage of a leopard, you soared beyond,
Becoming a beacon of hope, a guiding star,
A Past District Governor in the realm of Rotary,
A testament to your dedication, near and far.

Minister and author, a man of many talents,
You wielded your pen to speak truth without fear,
In your book 'State of Blood,' you ripped open
The veil of darkness, exposing a dictator's sneer.

Your words were a sword, cutting through the lies,
Unveiling the atrocities, revealing the pain,
You shed light on the horrors faced by many,
Awakening a nation, empowering the slain.

Henry, your energy was boundless, your commitment unwavering,
A true embodiment of Africa's vibrant soul,
You waltzed through life with a smile and purpose,
Leaving footprints behind, our hearts console.

As your spirit takes flight, soaring to the heavens,
Know that you will forever be cherished and revered,
Your legacy lives on, your memory etched in time,
Henry Kyemba, a legend, in whom we'll find solace dear.

Rest now, O great one, in the embrace of eternity,
Where the spirits of our ancestors welcome you home,
Your words, your deeds, your spirit shall inspire,
For you have left an indelible mark, wherever you roam.
