Pride

written by: Bernard Gabriel Okurut

@GabrielOkurut

Your pride was

foretold in the folktale,

It made the frog lose its tail.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

This poem is dedicated to all my fellow readers and writers who still cherish the traditional oral literature of their respective places of origin.
