Leader of the youths If jaduong Oloo dies, We,as youths of this village,will not dig his grave, I,the leader of the youths, have spoken, We will not even allow our wives to wail, Mzee Oloo and his family will know that the birds have learnt how to fly, And no one can stop them! If Jaduong Oloo kicks the bucket, We,as the youths in this village,will block the entrance to the market, We shall not allow Oloos carcasses to be viewed at the market place, Because that would be a disgrace, We shall not allow our people to pluck the branches of our trees to wail him, Jaduong Oloo will bury himself! Jaduong Oloo shall not be lowered into his grave, No,not before he asks for our forgiveness for making our women his slaves, Not before he returns our young sisters to us, I will lead the protesting youths to his homestead, We shall sing songs of liberation, We shall take our young girls that he forced to be his wife, We shall set fire on his houses and rape his wife. I,Omondi the son of Ogot, Leader of yudhe, I was born very early in the morning, When snakes had finished making love, When bachelors penises were erect,facing the grass thatched roofs, I shall not allow JaduongOloo to be buried with a spear, He is not a hero, An old man who does not know even a single proverb is a saltless man, This old man used his powers to amass wealth and spit on the weak, He stole our constituency development funds and built rental houses! The youths have spoken, Mother,stop crying for me, We shall interrupt Jaduong Oloos burial with bows and arrows, It is for the good of all of us that He has trumped upon, Us that he has locked in jails for speaking against his draconian rules, Us that he has raped our mothers and killed our fathers, If his askaris will overpower us, Then so be it, Let me be buried with a spear, Let them inscript the following words on my grave, Omondi,jatend yudhe, Opuk olwar e pige, Ogwang lelo
