No Child Is Safe In El Fasher Poem by Yousif Ibrahim Abubaker Abdalla

No Child Is Safe In El Fasher

There would be acres eating dust soot,
Where quietness shouting and hearts are broken and wounded,
We devour screeching of pain,
Toppling on strong-willed ears in hollow,
We see children mourning over dead roots,
We hold disabled by sulk,
We shattered marbles in deep ebbing,
Your crumble sympathy sticking,
Ashes, entrails, and blood deluged us,
almost noticeable are being doomed bourgeois,
lateral casualty of torture,
No tenets, no endowment, no distinction,
Slaughtered surrounded by garnishing firing,
To nest the raider with a sense of right,
To advocate the abandonment of powerless children,
To vanish the war, children alone in dilemma,
Witness fugitive camp in desert wasteland,
Lost children adhesive to each other for ambition,
we penetrate with pain in my heart,
The torture of children
We have fated to grind, how untenable it is,
To rise by while they taste death,
Children who have no more tears to yowl,
Your spotless stares craving good for nothing,
Your frangible heads are shown to us as attestation as generosity lays by ill-fated,
We turn off the torch at night and grasp that,
pardon will never be granted to the human race,
Until we take each other's hands as one nation,
Allied, in our prevalent intention,
Making judgment pleads for tenderness,
Above everything,
Every child demands to be sheltered.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM: I'm a big fan of poetry, literature, and different forms of art. Composing poems is the only outlet for me to express my feelings and cope with life's ups and downs. I devote my spare time to writing, performing, and enjoying poetry at different events and slams. The poem was written on Saturday, the 1st of November 2025. This was written about millions of childhoods around the world being lost to conflict. From Gaza to Sudan and beyond, children are uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of war. They are being exposed to traumatic events, including losing their loved ones, being uprooted from their homes, and losing their access to adequate food, clean water, education, and healthcare. Almost as long as there has been life, war has been a part of it. Mankind continues to wage war even though the consequences often breed nothing but misery. However, when a person is called to defend his or her country or protect other defenceless people, it is his duty to fight. There is no question that there is evil in the world, and we must not rest on our laurels and say it is none of our business. We can not stand by and watch while others are being persecuted. It is the duty of mankind to uphold justice. Many of the children arriving are in distress, having been separated from their families and in urgent need of protection and psychosocial support.
