An Indomitable Warrior

An Indomitable Warrior

A Poem by Joseph Eluzai
"

A tribute to fellow South Sudanese who lost their lives around 1992 in Juba during the armed struggle.

"

He stood to plow new ground

That none would find a way round

Our noble people and its plight

In the gloomy days of the fight

To warrant blood spills

Of men truncated to pay the bills

Of a steamy and sick nationhood

From the womb of our ebony womanhood

Of women reduced to ashes

And children lost forever in clashes

Sore was the enemy’s kiss

As he recklessly rode in bliss

On their tender, sweet faces

Looting their priceless graces

Our warrior was showered with cash

To swing back and his people thrash

But his rolling voice

Echoed our age-old choice

In the gloomy days of pains

When men scrambled for gains

That had cost our indomitable warrior his life

For the sake of his people in strife

He was dragged to bite the dust

In a chalky house full of lust

For spirits such as his

I bet you know all about this!
