This is a folkloric song among the Bor Dinka, sang from time immemorial. The song is applicable even today and one can apply it in the current setting in the country. Here it goes,

Whose head is this?
It is the head of the greedy
The greedy you already gone
And our grains are ripe

Whose head is this?
It is the head of a killer
The killer you already gone
And peace is here after you

Whose head is this?
It is the head of a cattle rustler
Cattle rustler you already dead
And leave your children behind

Whose head is this?
It is the head of a child abductor
Child abductor you already perished
And leave your God given children

Whose head is this?
It is the head of a white army
White army you already defeated
And IGAD has brought peace to South Sudan
Whose head is this…………………
