For Good They Left. Poem by Naih Garang

For Good They Left.



Great men have lived
Here in our area,
But none was believed,
I hope by now are angrier,
As they watch us with lens of no relieve..

I can feel deep from inside,
They wish they could be here,
To have more insight,
while they live, see and hear,
But for good they are gone.

They thought to have left something,
But all we see out of that is a cry,
For sure nothing like legacy,
Their old brothers are now nothing
Than we expected, but for good they left.

We now rely on big brothers,
They ought to know the secret,
To keep us alive together as keepers,
But that's just a joke and regret
Everyday, for i know they left us desperate.

John Garang was great,
So do William Deng and Oduho,
But now we got nothing to rely on,
Nothing is easy even getting bread,
Believe me for good they're gone.

My life and yours too,
Lies in somebody's hand,
Only God and the boss, only these two,
Coordinate ups and downs,
Because the best downs here left.

Brothers and sisters,
Live your own life
Now to the best of your type,
For they boss may end it with blisters,
Nothing good again they are all gone.
