Bloodshed
Hooves soundly on the ground, awaking eye to eye with the disorder outright
Mutinous force take civilian mobile, and money is absolutely a war crime
Rebellious force to take civilian cars by force is absolutely a war felony
Hostile force exploit a tea-maker’s assistant to pay them top dollar for pleasure is a war of corruption
Rebellious force criminals carry weapons and mask their faces, and going ahead, robbing other property by force is absolutely a war evil.
No one seems to care.
Misconduct acts are committed by your so-called saviors
Armed fighting, an illicit in truth, frays against the faultless handing to melt the certainty
Fatherland is instantly changing as morality sneaks away. There is a degeneration in land
You endured continuing assembling fights until the oppressors were gone
When it comes to the things people do to each other in times of conflict
We ought now to be assassinating in peace and freedom’s name
You expect, we can only hope there will be a time we will make them pay for the misdeeds of outrage
In a reverse of hostility
Love must thrash
In a reverse of antipathy towards each other
Liberate earth dweller, barricade the battle.
POET’S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Written on 22 May 2023, this poem is about the conflict, which began on April 15 this year, and has displaced almost 1.1 million people internally and into neighboring countries. Some 705 people have been killed and at least 5,287 wounded, according to the World Health Organization. The battle between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has led to a collapse of law and order with looting that both sides blame on each other. Stocks of food, cash and essentials are rapidly dwindling. The ongoing attacks include killings, beatings, sexual violence, lootings, and the burning of houses, banks, markets, and government institutions.
