THE LAST TRAIN (القطار الأخير) Poem by Akol Miyen Kuol
|
Let us check that train Let us check it Before it leaves this station Let us check what is wrong with it
It killed a number of people on the way Let us find out its problem today
Let us listen to the passengers Who were on board Let us listen to the passengers Who are still on board
Some people attribute its defect To the main driver Others attribute it to all our drivers
O brother and sister Let us check our only train Because there is no other train This is the second and the last train Let us save it till it reaches it's last station
Oh! Brothers and sisters Let us save the lives Of the remaining passengers For Friends Sisters Brothers Parents Land and relatives Are waiting for us
There is something enough Waiting for all of us Despite our number, different ages Or background there is something enough For all of us
Oh, let us repair our last train For it is the only hope For the whole nation
Note: This poem is from the poet Akol Miyen Kuol's second poetry book entitled 'The Last Train' which was first published in England in 2003. For more on Akol's revolutionary and peace poems, kindly get yourself a copy of the book from Amazon
