In the Wild-land of Despotism
Yousif Ibrahim Abubaker 1986 (Omdurman)
Your bloody battleground assistance is vying for dominion the ruling
By way, bullets fly, hearing out-yell
Outnumbers race die from several walks of life
Humans against humans, brother against brothers
If you don't tidy up matters into certainty
Then, the sagacity will stick around bleary
Those with influence in their muscles
Their garments are too pure while you are in penury
They devour steak behind big curtain
And others leave this world while they are going through to survive
And others unsettle to uncharted shelter
People's virtue has changed to malicious movies since the fire shot started out in the bottom of citywide Khartoum
Illegal deeds have taken tragic events: Exploitation, robberies, murdering & inflation prevail on the land of dignity
As long as oppression remains
As long as simple blood is spilled
Species have gained to be slain and called you’re going to hell on earth
You hold your heads and shout, shout
No matter how long would surcharge of melancholy and agony foam you
In the wild-land of despotism
You will never be able to wink your eyes
Or to resist your hopes and dreams
Or to expose the smiles to innocent mankind
Or to pull through your luxury
Therefore, your destiny will be burnt into ashes, ashes
As you know, their deep inhuman had made the freshness of effused blood out from the trembling of life and assassination
Millions of souls never born once again
One heart is still for love to grow as fragrance flowers are sufficient for harvesting wealth
And one smile is enough to express happiness
And one land is enough for all Sudanese citizens, citizens
To live together as one nation
To rebuild destroyed land into fascinating existing landscapes beauty
To mingle multi-tribes to the greatest united friendly people ever
To instill respect and intimacy
Uphold side by side strong foresight to
Your patriotism can create peace and love to build over again our beloved Sudan as a miracle & forgiveness
About this poem
POET’S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM: The poem was written on Friday, 13th of January 2024. This poem captures we still face many difficulties because of the lack of security in the country due to the security forces being occupied with the battles. We were faced with mobs on our way, other than the burden of travel and the different checkpoints by both security forces and Rapid Support Forces. The fighting has turned urban areas into battlefields. We raise our hands to God almighty and ask him to solve the problem of Sudan. Fighting since mid-April between Sudan's regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The conflict has plunged Sudan into chaos, with combatants occupying homes, looting property, and committing other abuses. more »
