Rating: 4.6


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

This historic Constitutional Declaration will ever remain as a beacon of light and a Charter of freedom for those who were suffocated under the autocratic military regime! I can feel your sense of excitement and joy in these lines, quite natural for any zealous patriot over his country's march into true freedom! Let the hopes of thousands never get extinguished by unanticipated occurrences! A powerful write!
