"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
Great nations are always founded
In the aftermath
Of blood recession,
Corpses dry up,
Bones decompose
And equivocal equation solves justly and fairly
On this second
Of this day
Of this month
Of this year
A powerful political tsunami trembles the Sudan
To historians, it’s the independent of the South.
To South Sudanese, it isn’t the Independent of the South,
Just South Induction- Induction to
The North’s unsmiling face,
Shaggy lion mouth,
Prickly hairy hand
And stop eating in one plate with the North.
… Of this month of this year
A vigorous political volcano erupted in the Sudan
South Sudan, a land of hundred languages,
Hundred Cultures, spearmen, rainmakers
Three animistic gods per family,
Catholicism and Protestantism
Stretches it knee, arms and yawn after breaking heavy chain
…..of this month
Of this year,
The Republic of South Sudan is born
Today ,the truly African nation becomes a Kibbutz
Where once called ‘’ puppies of slave bitches’’
Take their position alongside the free men and women
Of the free world
