Darfur

There is a land

In western Sudan

And they call it Darfur.

 

A place unforgiving

A place of hard living

Many do not survive.

 

Droughts, desertification,

And overpopulation,

Have things out of control.

 

A war of ethnicities

Created duplicity and autrocities

And no one can survive.

 

Reminiscent of Hitler

People feel littler

Just for being themselves.

 

Mass graves hide

Nothing short of genocide

Murder hard to survive.

 

So we see the SLMA

Trying to save the day

But it’s a difficult fight.

 

The JEM in the mix

And Resolution Seventeen oh six

Hope to survive.

 

The Janjaweed instigate

A serious level of hate

And the world finally sees.

 

Stand and raise a voice

Stand and make a choice

And peace may survive.

Author's Note

The autrocities committed in this country are so horrific they make me sick. I have seen pictures of children who have starved to death, pictures of piles of bodies set afire, pictures of mass graves. Why? Seriously why? Just because someone is diffrent then you. What a pathetic reason to kill.
