Fighting Your Own Enemy

You dwell in a universe of ever-present conflict with those who keep this voracious warriors of our ruddy, frosty, and sky

Love is all about you’ll strive, there are no qualms

Guarding courageously what you are not holding back, each warrior is loyally super-leading struggling

Those in uniform will always be glossed over a glorious homeland

Let us keep it evermore

Let us assist to be powerful

Let us assist to be heartfelt

Let us withhold devoted aims

Let us conserve hearts from unmanly fright

God flourishes land to real victory and tiara’s head with competence

Hectors are on the floating again to shatter our blood and bone

You come to blow all species of cavern supporting sufferers far distance and nigh,

To keep it from disarray, to protect what you carry lovable

So let’s compile again

To suppress your newest scampers, whatever you have to do, wherever you should go

Killing and devastation everywhere

Your time to come fills with expectation

You may stay to mow snappy crops of remorse

Let us endeavor peace and forward peace to communes to last the thuggery

The reek of dying all around the cinders of best that strikes your heart got a glow on righteousness or maliciousness homeland was whining like entombed miles

To raise recoiling peace, attain a justness tag to assert trusts and a latent relish for relieving, growing the grit splaying fresh lives

You better disband your snags here, or before long

You will snout doom

POET’S NOTE

I wrote this poem to address the current war occurring in my homeland Sudan. I hope this poem will encourage and sustain the brave people who are peacefully demanding a more just future for Sudan. I know these verses cannot soothe the wounds of those who have lost loved ones but I want Sudanese to know that their memory will never be forgotten.
