This poem is dedicated to Omer Adegair - shedding tears of (happiness and sadness) . This poem is dedicated to the young Sudanese generation who made the change with bare hands in their peaceful uprising of December 2018*

Let's begin the march
The one thousand miles today
...

I feel sad as sadness could be
Cause I'm afraid that one day;
I may not be able to say;
To my grandchildren, why animals deserted our planet
...

It is a long time since
I left my African Village
And to town I made my the passage
With a bundle of clothes
...

Maya Angelou, you are original
Exceptional,
So, you are phenomenal
...

My wife
You are the essence of my life
My free space
Where no one could dare to trace
...

Sudanese were suffering since the military coup of 1989 by Omar Albasheer.

Millions of tears
Were shed at all spheres
...

I am a helpless bird in this cage
It is my home prison
And for no good reason
It is a half metre range
...

Dreams are the bliss for the bride in her first marriage day
And the hope for the sailor in a rough sea
And the delight of a graduate to get an (A)
...

I
In an endless horizon,
In a lonely Zone
The Robben Island stood alone
...

It was just a dream, a strange dream
It was a dream, only a dream,
That I saw the elephant in the streets of Khartoum
Walking with a leisurely pace
...

I
I have always dreamt of flying a plane
And travelling miles and miles away
Swiftly flying over vast plains
...

Make your dreams like wild flowers
Freely grow in the moor to get the power
And send their scents equally to the rich and the poor
Let your dreams be the joy of the maid
...

Dreams are colorful
As the rainbow
Dreams like streams
Some are fast
...

I
It was fifteen years ago
I was forty-five
You were twenty-two
...

I
Despite you ugly Antonov *
Despite your horrible Molotov
Despite your terrible Kalashnikov
...

You have stolen my money
But money is compensable.
You have stolen my land
But land is retrievable
...

Sniper! !
Why do you disguise
in that disgraceful mask
To do your dirty task
...

The last time I saw him
There he slept in peace
In calmness
With a smile on his face
...

I -hereby- confess,
that I loved many women
Some were so hot
Some were shy and a bit cold
...

River Nile
Oh, River Nile!
You run like a silver chain
Through the green African plains
...

The Best Poem Of Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

The One Thousand Miles Journey Begins Today

This poem is dedicated to Omer Adegair - shedding tears of (happiness and sadness) . This poem is dedicated to the young Sudanese generation who made the change with bare hands in their peaceful uprising of December 2018*

Let's begin the march
The one thousand miles today
And pave the way
To build the new Soodan
And draw the name of this country
In the book of the human history
Let us begin the march
Let's begin with a wide stride
With full pride
And ride the one thousand miles
Over deserts and across the Nile
To freedom, justice and peace
And draw on the happy faces millions of smiles
Let us begin the march
Let's celebrate the birth of new generations
Equipped with better education
To be the best of all the nations
Let's begin the dreams of freedom, justice and peace
Let's begin the race
Let us begin the march
And we have done
We have started the run
And it was no surprise
We made it and won the prize
We went the one thousand miles distance
To freedom with resistance
Hand in hand as twins
We have crossed and made the wins
The one thousand miles begins today
With high dreams we go the long way
Together we build schools for children
Where they can study and learn
And spend some of the day
Drawing animals and trees
And play games in peace
And rejoice
With loud voices
Pleased with their toys
And full with joys
Then we build roads from the north to the east
From the south to the west
So the farmer can happily go to sell his goods
And because he is the one who provides the foods,
We will thank him for his work
With a dispensary to cure his family
And care for his newborn in the new Soodan
Where every child, woman or man
Can practice happiness with no fear
In a free democratic atmosphere
And we all aspire for prosperity
With dignity
Among the nations of the world
With pride and integrity
With unity and solidarity
To achieve the big dreams in a new country

*Omar Adegair is the President of the Sudanese Congress Party, who shed tears of happiness and sadness when he was assigned to read the speech of the Civilian Negotiators with the Military Junta at the event of coming to an agreement about the Constitutional Declaration in Khartoum on August 4 2019
