Slay the dragon of injustice and impunity

By Atok Dan Baguoot 

Slay a monster of injustice 
slay it with its putrid and malodorous roots
Put it to rest 
Let it be in the dustbin of history 
Put a killer to its knee, 
For it will remind us of the bitter past 

Slay the dragon of impunity and social vices, 
for it cuts artery of national union, 
of cohesion and patriotism 

Slay it to a perfect death, 
Cut its heads with a neck,
for it will germinate 

Slay the vice that turns public entities into the tribal shrine, 
It generates hatred that pilfers public coffers 
Slay it that our national values shall be restored 

Slay it so that loosen national bonds shall be restored
Slay it so that our footprints shall be traceable 
to a generation and posterity 

Slay the culture of impunity and corruption, 
For they brought us unforgettable memories, 
For they brought chronics wars that decayed the national bonds, 
South and north, east and west 
Slay the dragon to death
