RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Khartoum
A nation in perpetual war
Where power is determined by arms
A failure of the democratic form
Government by spells and charms
A legacy of hatred and genocide
Crimes against all humanity
Religious and cultural divides
Warlords of infinite vanity
Justice can never preside
When hatred breeds insanity
World powers are brought to bear
In a land so rich with treasures
Trapped in a treacherous lair
War as a pastime of leisure
Will this bloodshed go on forever?
Or will it finally come to an end?
Will the roots of war be severed?
Or will Sudan into hell descend?
