This poetry was written to promote Ma'di literature in contemporary African society in general, and the newly born nation of South Sudan in particular. The poem may serve to demonstrate how best the Ma'di language, together with other African languages could be exploited to express ideas that represent a day to day life of the society. Its primary objective is to inspire young Ma'di men and women to keep their cultural values alive through arts. * * * * * * * * * * * *
