The Bright Star Campaign (BSC)
BSC Campaign

BSC, the SPLA Commandos offensive and defensive code
The commandos well trained, committed and armed
With AK 47, RPG, SAM, Tanks and artillery
The war cry was
“Claiming and following one’s right,
Is the fastest killer of oneself that’s why?
Foolish animals live the shortest life with healthy stomach,
Ignoring and fearing one’s right,
Is the fastest saver of oneself that’s why?
Wise animals live the longest life with cancerous stomach”
In BSC’s campaign, in valleys, hills, woodlands
And the plains of Bahr- el-Ghazal, Equatoria and Upper Nile
The Commandos
Chased the foes as a cock chases the hen
Beat the foes as a cock beats the bullet
Until the mighty army of foes
Become the mighty army of the concessionaries
Who kiss the feet of commandos in great sorrow
At the end of the BSC campaign, the commandos were
Welcomed on the red carpet into triple cities,
Were worshiped and honoured and dubbed as
Sword of peace
Arms of the weak
Ears of the deaf
Legs of the lame
Tongues of the dumb
Hellfire to melt the rock foundation of demonic throne
Their war cry, music of happiness and freedom for the oppressed
The shedding of their blood, being the purification for fatherland
Their death, being the sanctification for their offspring
