Jungle Politics
As the intimately familiar screech
of an emergency alert is issued, a displaced
plastic bottle streams along the flooded sidewalk.
Sudan still does not have sustainable water.
The mouths of widowed women and bludgeoned children
run dry. Darfur is a skeleton.
The death of the last male northern white rhino,
named Sudan, receives more coverage than the genocide.
In 2016, a photographer
received award from the World Press contest
for capturing seven-year-old Adam Abdelβs extensive burns
After his own government bombed his village,
Adam received displacement.
