THE SUDAN 2004


DISEASE AND HUNGER GROW SIDE BY SIDE
THEIR LOST AND TIRED AND DIVULGED OF PRIDE
GREAT ARMIES OF INNOCENT CHILDREN ASSEMBLE
COLD IN THE HEAT THEY STAND AND TREMBLE

THICK DUST THAT SEEPS INTO EVERY POUR
YOUNG FAMILIES HEARTS WRUNG TO THE CORE
SACKS OF BONES THAT ONCE A LIFE DID STAND
IN A FAR AND TROUBLED TWISTED LAND

THE COLD GROUND IN SUDAN IS HARD AND BARE
GRIEVING PARENTS CAN ONLY STAND AND STARE
ONLY IF IN THOSE LAST TWENTY ODD YEARS
WE'D JOINED TOGETHER TO LOOSE THESE TEARS

WALK YOUR MIND PAST THOSE TWENTY ODD YEARS
GREAT MEN LIKE GELDORF GLADLY SHED THEIR TEARS
WHAT HAS THE WORLD LEARNED IN TWO DECADES PAST
AGAIN TO WATCH THESE INNOCENTS FAST
