''The Shilluk Kingdom and My heart''

I was going to be a Prince
Of Shilluk kingdom today if we 
Did not lose our Kingdom-ship.

My mother was going to be a Queen 
Today through hereditary succession,
Imagine the honour I would have
Earned today from my people.

Imagine how I was proudly
And bravely going to fight in the battles,
Our kingdom lost all the wealth and life
To no longer Ottoman Empire.

To briefly explain to you how our
Kingdom collapsed, our people were
Affected by military assaults from the
Ottoman Empire, resulting in the 
Destruction of the kingdom in the early 1860s.

Our kingdom was an independent
kingdom For more than sixteen 
centuries,
Fashoda city was destructed during 
Fashoda incident (Britain & France)
now it is not even 
Consider a better town in South Sudan.

Though I am originally a Dinka man
Still, Shilluk Kingdom won my heart.
We lost our historical arts from the
15th century,
But all other empires/kingdoms
Have their art histories 
from the 15th century.

I am elated to be a descendant of 
The Shilluk kingdom, O God bless 
Shilluk kingdom and allow them to
re-established back their kingdom.
