Sudanese oil - the curse

We are.....
we think
we can solve our problems
with it
"oil is cause for rejoicing"
Not so
in my home land
it is a curse
the field for revenge
the prize
lives of both
northern and southerners
The South has lost
your eyes see nothing
only
pipeline
needed to remove the oil
If it disappeared
the people
would be happy again
the general has
a long arm
to oppress my people
I dance like a wounded lion
I remember
how we use to be
how we use to dream
after it was discovered
Numeri split the south
and imposed the Islamic laws
civil war
civil war
killed millions
it made us refugees
homeless
sleepless
a hot desire for freedom again
pipelines and road
constant violence
instead of development
the people who live near
have been forced to leave
the war is going on
just to protect the oil fields
have some mercy
these black people are
like you
please have some more mercy
you are black
why do you give your back
to the darker people?
the ancient ones
the women
the children
are begging
stop sucking their blood
stop hating
and eliminating
your own race
have some respect
