Moonless Nights Over South SudanMoonless Nights over South Sudan
heartless Moon, don’t tell me
that you weren’t looking
when soulless soldiers dragged me
from my mama’s terrified arms
in our village in Rubkona County
I know you covered your ears
so you wouldn’t hear
my screams piercing the fetid air
as those butchers dropped their pants
repeatedly ripping...

Autumn In SudanAutumn in Sudan has started last April
Spring soul wonders of rare weather
There and here, Sudan Bamboo dance
African styles, colors, fires, and poems
Bamboo in their entity and so nature....

Darfur, SudanDarfur, Sudan
Yet again, there is a great deal of madness
As the entire world is filled with sadness
And men raise arms against each other
They fight as if they have no mother
Two hundred, thousand dead and the world stand still in silence
As Darfur is overwhelmed with blood...

Lost Girl of SudanLOST GIRL OF SUDAN
Little lost girl, your world's not the place it ought to be.
Where do you think you're running to?
There's no place that wants you.
Run. Run. Run. Run. Run. Run.
Little lost girl, don't think of running to Khartoum.
No one will help you in Khartoum.
Run....

Lyric
Darfur, SudanDesert sand, tan and wind rippled
Dry, desolate, drifting-dieties'
canvas evolving, serenity garden
Strife and soldiers, guerilla warfare
South of Egypt, West of the Red Sea
Land Cursed by God for whorng against
God with other gods. Descendants still
pay the sin price today.
Confussion, hate consumed
Evil conduct, evil rulers
Abuse and...

SudanHurl your stone of words
Care not who gets hit.
For those beyond the wall,
Are enemies of humanity.
Sudan is crying
Someone, wipe her tears.
Death is prying,
Sudan grieves with fears.
Pray, yes, God is all ears.
Speak, and see it spread
Your words, the enemy fears
Your awareness, they surely dread.
Sudan is dying
Don't...

Elegiac Lyric
The New SudanFaces were polished
With sweat as they abolished
The dictatorial rule that demolished
Citizens who were diminished
And civil rights-famished
Cars were fully loaded
Buses were boarded
Streets were loaded
With protestors who plodded
For Spicy Freedom to be unfolded
Brave men chanted
Courageous women ululated
The whole Sudan celebrated
The forever awaited
Moment was now harvested
You should have...

Flight From the New SudanFLIGHT FROM THE NEW SUDAN
I see your tears
there on your black face
and what a face
was it the tears?
The crying for the child now dead
from starvation?
Or was it the tears
for the one in your arms?
The one who will die
before the dawning of a new day.
I see...

Lyric
The Warring Generals of SudanThe warring Generals of Sudan
Yesterday, they were friends,
Sharing the cake of power together.
“This kind of friendship never ends”
One corpse did whisper.
Today they fight over the cake of power.
Where has their love gone this hour?
Two guns lock horns,
And civilians suffer.
Our piece of peace has torn.
Guns ring...

Heal the WorldVoices and screams wailing from the face of the world,
There is nothing but the days of Sodom and Gomorah
Soils of syria turns to ashes
The world is now a melting pot,
Jets and planes rocketing the face of the sky Visions from Sango are...

The Daredevil RescueStranded in war torn Sudan,
Dreading yet another dawn.
In Wadi Sayyidna town,
Hopelessness was weighing down.
Men and women, young and old,
Watched the civil war unfold.
Homeless, desperate, full of fear,
Longing for their near and dear.
Then on 27th April night,
A C-130J took flight....

Sounds of WarThere is rumbling in the skies
It’s not thunder
Babies sound a chorus of cries
Where is mother?
They have mastered the drill
To take cover
Prayer the only sanctuary, they stay still
Survive or wander
There is no heat to keep them warm
There is just rapid fire
They are used to the sound...
