The Political Hoes
By Ayuen Kelei, Juba, South Sudan
–
We the so much Willing
The fountain of freedom
Up and down the hills
And valleys of struggle
We have done so much with little
But they are still ungrateful
Yet tirelessly cultivated for them
With their oligarchy
–
We the blind are so much willing
We are the cart pullers
As they leave us in pits
Stuck in mud trying so much to pull
The carrier of grudges
Up on high tables, they laugh and share wine happily as we ignorantly fight
Their periodically strategized wars
We at the day end, gain nothing but
Deaths for the rewards of wars
Fought on their behave.
–
We the so much Willing
Are faked with peace on papers
And inking the so-called documents of peace
We are yet to realize that
We were faked
Oh yes, we must begin to see
The game being played for this long
By the self centred referees of the match.
–
We the so much Willing
Are the tools of the players
The Yankees who ought to be
The heroes and heroines at our expense
With strategies played periodically
Yes we must unveil the oligarchy
For the claimed freedom
We are yet to secure!
