SEASON IN PRISON

By G. Naih Peter, Torit, South Sudan

—

So pale like death,

I was so obsessed,

Everything was at excess.

–

Men were adamant

And were all dormant,

’twas not long,  just a moment.

–

They shouted so proud,

That things were wrong,

Only then they didn’t get along.

–

Season in prison

Due to verdict and oblivion

Pushed them into so termed treason.

–

None was drug addict,

But all heinous things

Were spiced, cooked and added.

–

Season in prison

Created new team,

Believe me, ’twas at extreme.

–

Friends including me sang songs,

Others beat drums and gongs

The season was at last gone.
