My Mother Poem by David Aoloch Bion

My mother, brave Dinka woman
I can’t forget about her on that day
That day will be immortal verse in my mind
O great coal day! How horrible are you
O horror day! How horrible are you
Ao a yoo a yooo.

O great hot red coals, you fallen
On my mother’s lap and me, my mother dare
Boldly to remove the cool on me first
Before she removed the coal on her. My mother was
Painless of your intense greedy heat because
Of me. Her love for me is hottest than you freezing heat

O! mother! I suck your breasts for two and half
Years until big bubble below up from my
Mouth and from thick cloud in the sky, after you
Weaned me, you fed me with gourds milk
Which I drank until it flew my noise.

I still remember your wards of prayer when
I was sick, you prayed” O Lord, it is my willed wish
That, the in my child come to me. It is better
For me to die and my child go on living.

I also remember your oath on my birth day
When you tasted your blood as an eternal agreement
That you love me and you will not harm me
In any way in case you are angry with me.
