African Spring 801: The translator - book review

African Spring 801: The translator

Bought on sale
As Darfuri  were sold short
With eagle view
The story dissects
Good and bad

Haboob of emotions
Decimation of families
Ways of living
Darfur - harsh

For humanity and beast alike
I recognize
Towns: Bahai, Abeche, N’Djamena
Hotels: Meridien

Where I left part of my heart
Pearls of sweaty fear
My mud hut
Not under siege

Daoud
The warrior
That takes on a giant
Huge disinterest

Bullets, beatings
Torture, manipulation
Pawn in political chess
You live

What did we do
To stop
The onslaught?
….

Tickle the mind and read!
