Darfur Camp
Parent watched in pain as own child departs
To a place they have not been
The wish to rest in a finer world follow
Fat mosquitoes happy life
Sicknesses calling from within reach
Flying together in burial air
Protruding tummy beneath flat chest
Lack of vitamins and scarcity of food revealed
Many starved even while still served
Suffering, their career
Horror, their teacher
This south turned opposite of humanity
Those left are half of those through bled lost
In this Darfur camp
