"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.

By James Thon Atem, Juba, South Sudan


I now rest in peace,

Observing life carry on as time marches forward without me,

I implore you to treasure each moment.

If my absence brings you sorrow,

Please don’t let it overwhelm you,

For none of us can escape the passage of time.


To those who stood by my side,

I offer my sincere gratitude,

And to those who held me close,

I am truly thankful.


In the brief moments I had,

I made time to pause, to laugh, to love, to cry.

The question of time’s beginning or end seems insignificant,

As I lived my life to the fullest,

And now, I am at ease.


Even in the darkest times, love will persevere.
