The Lost Boys of Sudan

We will walk forever, eternity

From the coral, blood-splattered open grave;

We cry, but no tears will set our eyes free.

Dead eyes of lifeblood, dead homes made me flee,

Ebony ghosts slice your shallowness; rave!

We will walk forever, eternity.

So dare, look at me, a skeleton tree,

Tongue stiff and twig limbs; eye sockets a cave;

We cry, but no tears will set our eyes free.

You say in America we’ll be free,

Scatter us orphans, in vain tongue your “save;”

We will walk forever, eternity.

Phantoms of family condemn us to be

Lonely,  to torment forever a slave,

We cry, but no tears will set our eyes free.

Home stays a taunting and flaming decree,

Foreign enigma price makes us walk brave.

We will walk forever, eternity,

We cry, but no tears will set our eyes free.
