THE SINISTER’S TROPHY

By Garang Chawuoch

THE SINISTER’S TROPHY

My country is a funny one, so funny to the word
It will crack you up even even if in low spirits
Yes-it will force you to laugh off your head hysterically
Yes or Not ,it will pull your cheeks apart
And before you know it, you burst out laughing Hahaha
Laughing a ‘forced laughter’ though

My country is a funny one,so funny to the word
Guess what? It has the rarest medal world over
They call it the ‘SINISTER’S TROPHY’, cherished,adored
‘Gangsters’ medal’, you could also call it
Gangsters’ trophy’ is not for everybody,anybody-No
It’s not for ordinary men, it’s awarded to the ‘chosen few’,the rare breed
It’s bestowed upon few extraordinary boys and girls, ‘the war lords/ladies’
Those who butcher,slaughter,mutilate and slice innocent bodies happily
Yes-those who terminate life, the only freeborn right of any citizen
Those bloody sadists who kill people at pleasure, these clique own it

To earn it,all you do is rebel against authority-a precise formula,isn’t it?
Run to Jonglei jungles and commit unspeakable atrocities on people
Let the hell break loose….let terror reign
kill,kill and kill any creature on two legs,don’t spare
Widows,widowers,young and old,kill,don’t spare
Then come to Juba ,meet the so-called ‘custodians of the masses’
And no doubt, you’ll get that priceless ‘Sinister’s trophy’
They will receive you ceremoniously in a ‘red-carpet welcome’
You become the darling of everybody,a champion
There you are,general,captain,or brigadier somebody almost effortlessly

My country is a funny one, so funny to the word
Adores,cherishes,idolize,criminals officially in a broad day light,that’s what it does
Should you raise an eyebrow and condemn the evil,someone runs after your soul pants down.so funny,strange,so odd!

My country is a funny one, so funny to the word
Like the biblical hypocrites who preach water only to drink wine
My country pretends to protect her people yet rewards their killers
It appears in the international scenes almost for every wrong show
It drags and limbs on with stinking shame
Hipocrisy is the king
Some disgruntled political animals pick up arms and shoot,shoot
Shooting at the civilians,set ablaze their property,kill them
And do you know what they say? Ati they want to liberate them
What’s liberation?,if I may shoot a question,tell me what’s it?
No wonder,my country is a funny one,so odd.so strange
It can always amuse you?
By the way,Where is David Yau Yau these days?
