JUST MATTER OF TIME

By G. Naih Peter, Torit, South Sudan

–

Is just a matter of time,

All nonsense will be denounced,

My friends and enemies will be fine,

Stronger we’ll all pronounce

That we’re one people but in crime.

–

Is just matter of time,

And my brother from another mother,

Will shout but not stop the growth,

The growth we shall all adore,

Not one painted with stealing and murder.

–

Believe me all of you,

All will be plastered with smile,

Though there will still be few,

Not contented with the comfort of Nile

River just like others now who hit and run. Pew!

–

Is just matter of short time,

This great land of milk and honey

Will surely not be a joke and funny

Anymore to nearby brothers with dime,

Just wait they will all be gone with money.

–

Our sweat that’s been embezzled

By cohorts of these fine feathers

Will one day find their fingers dry from oil

Because the poor sons of soil

Will then see sea’s water and never be puzzled
