Take Back Me To Pitpit Poem by David Aoloch Bion

Take Back Me To Pitpit



Great battle fought at Pitpit
Kuol wounded in battle
Kuol brothers ran and left him
At battlefield
Kuol’s neighbor, Ring came and rescued him
Ring saved Kuol’s life by carrying him on
His to safety
When Kuol heal from wound
He decided to give five cows to Ring
As reward for saving his for saving him
Ring rejected the reward of cows and
‘’ my reward is being good neighbors
and good friend’’

Few years Kuol and Ring quarreled over
Farmland
Kuol attacked Ring
Threw him down
Kuol beat Ring badly
With no mercy
And no one on farmland
To separate them
Ring cried and asked
‘’ Kuol, do you want to kill me
Why do you beat badly like this’’
Kuol never listened and continued
To beat Ring
‘’ Kuol why do you beat me like this
Do you remember when I saved at
Pitpit battle’’
‘’ take me back to Pitpit’’ Kuol replied
‘’ if you can and I will come back from Pitpit’’
Kuol added
