On January 1st, foxes deeply irritated overnight by
Black dogs barking demanding Political Scepter
In the Morning, the foxy Governor stood by hind legs
Looking side to side, which dog to be thrown to
...
I joined the army to be Macias
Against Pride in the hydrogen
Bomb third world war
This is my last answer to any one
...
Joh gave Mou small
roasted tilapia fish
Small as it’s
Mou rejected tilapia in greed

The war took my people to Khartuom
The war destroyed my people
The war destroyed their culture
The war destroyed their identity

Life is the same between
Animals and humans
Smile is only difference between
Beasts and mankind

Monkey always says
Your food is not your food
In your plate
Until you hold it

The poison frog looks at sky
He croaks in joyous sound;
The storm gathers

I love village education more than alphabet education
In my cerebrum, its higher than mountains
In my vein, its deeper than Oceans
It doesn’t requires literacy and numeracy skills

It doesn’t die, it is deathless
It doesn’t get old, it is ageless
When they smell, they smell it
When they hear, they hear it

Women were circling dancing
Husband of one woman
Came to watch circle dance

Man took axe
Climbed tree

laid eggs up the tree in nest

In Jonglei village
if man goes on journey
and stumbles his left leg
he cancels that journey

What Is Culture
What is Culture?
What we think of in Rumbek
What we think of in Jerusalem
What we think of in Moscow
All different things we think, say,
Do and make at different places at the same time
What differentiate a man from insects, birds and beasts?
If you don’t have a culture
You’re a housefly
If you don’t keep your culture
You’re a beetle or cockroach
If you adopt a culture
You’re a tick
If you hate other’s culture
You’re a toad
If you don’t hate or love other’s culture
You’re real man
