The heats of destitution and wounds of deprivation—together
with regrets of colonialism begun to roll away! While the Flag was shacking in
the air, my mind flashed back in the death of our Martyrs;
I reflected in retrospect my thoughts to the wailing mothers
and the screaming children! I considered the death toll of old men and women
with all the catastrophes, which we have undergone as birth-pain into a New
coming South Sudan as a Nation!
As the Flag was up waving, when I was still staring at it—with
my eyes reading its symbols, I found my heart saying words like, ‘I am exalted!
I am established—then I truly found my heart swollen with pride and dignity without
measure that I am a Nation!
As the Flag was wiping in the blue air—with my face lifted high
towards heaven at the blue sky watching it—with my eyes still blinking at its
symbols; I find myself deeply moved with a great zeal and vigor those I have
never felt before!
My mouth babbled and broke out with murmuring words those I
can`t express or even translate. I extremely thanked the Almighty God deeply
with all my heart for the right He bestowed upon me!
When I pondered all these, I realized that the hand of God
for discipline to this land is over, and behold a new covenant of peace and
prosperity has begun!
O Lord God! Hear the simple prayer of your young and simple
Servant! Let me understand your purposes and wills towards this up-coming
nation.
I plead with you to give me wisdom and knowledge, favors
your lad and bless his people—A men!
