Sudanly [A Poem]

 

 

Southern cries
Northern lies
Western worries
Eastern ties
Sudanly I feel a change on the horizon
2 million souls perished in pursuit of what?
People starved, lands razed in pursuit of what?
Resource riches, political ditches
War criminals, political wins subliminal
With no fear, Bashir hungers hope, nightmares dreams
Elections a shame
But as history’s pupils we know there will be change
When our voices are raised and heroism praised
Every dictator knows we will limit their days
Genocide, gendercide, infanticide, tribeacide
To anyone who isn’t on the President’s side
But without violence we will commit presidentcide
Side-by-side with the Sudanese we will stride
Until the day where every Sudanese can hold their heads with pride
Shouting “Not on our watch!” and “Not on our dime!”
We will march, not stride towards destruction’s demise
Until all of Sudan is free to rebuild and to rise
We’ve said “never again” so this will be the last time
No more innocents lost, legal lies, and war crimes
For fear is falling down, allowing our faith and our hope to rise!
