Farewell To My Young Nephew, Kuong Majak: On The Failure Of God
I have spent the 30th of December 2018, my birthday, quietly in my room. In Kampala Uganda.
However far my family was from me in Yirol, South Sudan; I had someone with me, a brother.
Throughout that day, I reflected my existence; and my relation to the world with regard to all kinds of affection.
But there has been the element of evil that has been in resistance; against the cords of my extended family.
Three days after Christmas;
I asked my elder sister how they spent it with the whole family back home; she told me everything was perfect.
In the same vein, 25th December 2018, happened to be the birthday of

But there has been the element of evil that has been in resistance; against the cords of my extended family.
Three days after Christmas;
I asked my elder sister how they spent it with the whole family back home; she told me everything was perfect.
In the same vein, 25th December 2018, happened to be the birthday of
my nephew, the first born of my elder brother.
The whole family was in total happiness in this festive season.
Four days later; ahead of my birthday, I never have been in touch with my family. It's like I have been through a whole lot of bad modes.
The world was jubilating everywhere, blowing fireworks, on the first day of the year. I was indoors; reading, reflecting, and metamorphosing at the same time.
Not, did I know, on this specific day, that there was something bad happening to my family.
I wish I was a supreme being. How bad I detest being a mere mortal. So disheartened at the beginning of 2019. To lose a younger nephew; Kuong Majak Majok Kuong, the innocent 1-year-old.
The firstborn of my dear sister, Yar Machiek Akuocpiir Cayier.
May your soul rest in peace.
The world and its representation by God, if he really exists, with all the evil that dominated it; I couldn't understand.
