The Heart Of Steel Poem by Naih Garang

So strong is a South Sudanese,
'cause all around her is heard and hard
To embrace; leave alone accepting such risk,
But nothing change as she live in agony
For sure she got the heart of steel.

She pray as she carry trays
Selling eggs in Konyokonyo,
Under scotching sun heat, but to stay
She never say die & run no astray,
Just because she has the heart of steel.

So complicate is her niche,
Daily bread is a nightmare to many,
Believe me a stitch in time can't save nine
Here perhaps at your end if one wash dishes;
If you have the heart of steel like hers & mine.

This home masters are so poor and weak
So poor to read and change the game,
For the common lives to never be the same,
Beware! they were there before you came
But remained poor with their hearts of steel.

She is so naive to the last,
That the masters build their empires
With her belongings but has no voice to blast,
She can't even come out in day to say her desires,
For she fear though with the heart of steel.
