Hip-Hop in Gulu

I do not know
if I like the American hip-hop
played here in Gulu

Do not mistake me,
I like its beat, its melody,
the way it makes my body move

But I do no like the glory
it hands to violence, sex, and money
in a land of beauty and long strife

I much prefer the drums
of the Acholi people
and the pride of the Bwola dance
