Sudan Poetry: Moment of Truth Sums
Moment of truth sums
The people want freedom:
Aye, bellows the liberator;
The people want peace:
Aye, bellows the peacemaker;
The people want reconciliation:
Aye, bellows the mediator;
The people want love:
Aye, bellows the lover;
The people want food:
Nope, bellows silence;
The people want education:
Nope, bellows silence;
The people want houses:
Nope, bellows silence;
The people want hospitals:
Nope, bellows silence
Ayes + Nopes = WAR
THE PEOPLE WANT WAR:
AYE, BELLOWS THE WAR MONGER.
