I left Darfur because I lost all my family. We have nothing. We all live in hope. I'm from Sudan, Darfur. Hope and dream for living. The situation is so desperately, so bad. Three million people or more displaced either internally or externally. My father was killed in front of me. All the peoples, they want to live equal in Sudan, so that's my dream. One day I will open my eyes and see a peacefulBmDarfur. As soon as you're born theyAmake you feelBmsmall. By giving you no timeAinstead of itBmall. Until the pain is so big youAfeel nothingBmat all. A workingAclass heroEis something toBmbe. A workingAclass hero isEsomething toBmbe. They hurt youAat homeEand they hit you atBmschool. They hate if you're cleverAand despiseBma fool. Until you're so (censored) crazy youAcan't followBmtheir rules. I had my brothers killed by Janjaweed. Genocide right now is happening in Sudan. working
