''The Shilluk Kingdom and My heart'' Genre: Poetry poet: Gum Mapuol Mabior ''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. ©® Gum Mapuol
