Long walk to Freedom *
شعر د. أحمد جمعة صديق
• Dedicated to the Young CAMP Walkers in Sudan
• Dedicated to Dr. Abdemoinm Ali Yagoup

Walk, just walk
Have little time,
For the little talk
Walk,
Wait not for freedom
For freedom do not wait
Just walk and would better haste
Spare no time, as not be late
It will never come to knock at your gate
And will never be served on plate
So, it is your fate,
to walk to freedom my son
To have your work done,
You will have to walk,
Or you would better run
Beyond the Sun
with proud head in the air
Like an eagle,
You should never look down
And never yield to the ground
Like a Greyhound **
That would never miss his prey
But looks forward
To get the reward
With sharp eyes
Able to pierce through the midnight
Ready to fight
Freedom - my son - is your right
Your natural right
But it is far and high
As the red star, in the sky
But, within your reach
If you are keen to walk and fetch
