here is a poem from my book of poetry "from the heights to the enchated places."

Darfur, Politics of Genocide
Dust dirt fear,
Women in bright cloth,
Wring their hands,
In despair,
Another night
When savage bodies,
Come in lust,
To thrust themselves,
In to soft
Unprotected flesh,
A young girl screams,
In pain,
From destruction,
Of innocence,
From despair,
Her womanhood,
So brutally, entered,
Then comes,
The thunder
Of roaring guns,
Is it shame?
That caused these marauders,
To kill, not only innocence,
But broken, used bodies.
No police, no soldier,
Comes to their aid
Only the bright sun,
Delivers them,
For a brief time,
From the evil of the night,
To soon the dark returns,
As does the fear
As does the death,
