Cleansing Sudan (Free verse) by Mr Pig
Black flies on a black hill of eyes.
Whiteness from their stare darkens me.
Heads bent back oval ling throats
caking the street in to musk blots,
âDarfurâ town is a âPollackâ canvas.
The unfashionable living
become fashionable news
highlight their plight
send some clothes and some shoes.
Flesh slicks of oiled skin
reddens hands not greens them,
Africaâs not economically viable
Hollywood doesnât want you
sex and celebrities are reliable,
You dirty the process
being ethnically cleansed.
Show the pictures of a smiling black boy,
mouth waxed from rice they can live with that.
Buy yourself a conscience from a free phone number
sell out humanity by switching the channel
the black boys gone now,
heâs hacking off heads for a uniform and rice.
