Land Of Cush Poem by David Aoloch Bion

Cushland arise, rise in praise of God

Praise God in happy sixty-four voices

Cushland, Well of World knowledge

That produced two types of knowledge

That’s Western and Eastern civiliz’n

Land of rich culture, ethics and valves

God brings glories and victories upon us



God said “ let there be Light”

Cushland appeared wide and broad

Cushland, Firstborn of Divine Light

Eden, where Mankind migrated to

East, West, South and North

Pride of Africa, of rivers, mountains and valleys

Of brave people that loves South Sudan



Cushland of God‘s Chosen Africans

Tall, Short People fears World over

Defeats enemies within rules of game

From them, gifts to disasters’ sites

Disasters’ sites, modern Mount Zion

Determined, committed to hard work and

Nation building in sciences and arts



Cushland, for thee sake, we spare no blood, soul

To get thee freedom, dignity and justice

Land of peace, prosperity equality, and humanity

From invisible enemies

May Almighty God save Cushland?

From visible enemies shall the Black Warriors

Defend thee and the flag



Cushland, we love thee that’s

Why we sacrificed as Martyrs

Unforgettable, the heroism of Martyrs

Unforgettable, the heroism of the Living

Unforgettable, the price paid for freedom

Daily shall we sing OUR GOD AND OUR VICTORIES?

And recite the Martyrs names on cenotaph







Cushland, Mountain of World Peace

In unity sixty-four People lives in peace

In harmony, sixty-four languages spoken

Cushland, Glorious Nation that lives in peace

With neighbour nations within

World peace and security norms

For God love and Cushland love



God saves Cushland, our country

God loves Cushland, our country

Oh God we love South Sudan alot

Thee flag, symbol of sovereignty, unity, and dignity

Our sacrifices will keep the flag higher among nations

Guided by yellow sun shining star

And so God bless South Sudan
