I will always be there for YOU!!!!

By Benjamin Guarken Chiman, Juba, South Sudan

–

For you, I will be!

Though you continue killing yourselves,

Though you continue to hate yourselves,

Though you badly betray yourselves and bruise yourselves,

Though you deadly divide yourselves, based on tribal sentiment, I will always be there!

 –

For you I will be!

I will be there for you,

Though you have filled my face with your blood,

Though you have misused my resources for you,

I will be there for you though you kill yourselves, I am your mother.

 –

For you I will be there!

I will be, to love you all, to embraces you all,

I will be there to produce for you all and always

I will always remain fertile; I am South Sudan your mother who cries!!

 –

For you I will be!

Until you embrace yourselves,

Until you lay down your guns against each other,

Until you all become one people, my lovely children,

Until you become one nation, I will always be for you, my own blood.

 –

I will always be there!

To feed you, to suckle you,

I will always be there to give you all living creatures,

All Creatures of beauty, all creatures of wealth,

I will continue producing oil for you and your generations.

Gold will always be there for you and your generations.

 –

For you I will be there! I will be here!!

Until you know my resources are yours,

Until you learn that I am always plentiful,

I will always be there! I will be here!!

I will carry the Nile for you; I will produce all sought of fruits.

I will keep you healthy and wealthy; I am South Sudan your mother who nourishes you!!

  –

For you I will be!

I will always be there,

Until you turn your guns into African gums and sell it to the outside world.

I will remain until you unite in my face and use my resources among you all equitably,

Until life is equal, I will be there. I will be here.

I am South Sudan your mother who speaks!!

 –

For you, I will be there Deng, Ukec, Gatluak, Wani, and Kuma. I am for all tribes!!

Until you become one nation, I am South Sudan your mother who cares for you!!

Until you become one people! I will always be there! I will be here!

I am a south Sudanese by nationality, have MBBS in medicine, from Bahr University- Sudan
