  A poem from the book Arrows and the Bow, by Sudanese poet Ladu Jada Gubek, published by Africa World Press:

What do you think you are doing?

Canada, China, Russia, Sweden,
what do you think you are doing?

What do you think you are doing
milking the cow
when the baby is yet to be born?
What do you think you are doing?

What do you think you are doing
exploiting our oil,
the product of the very widow
whose husband killed,
and her children sold for slavery?
What do you think you are doing?

What do you think you are doing
giving Dollars, guns, jet fighters
for monsters to destroy Sudanese children?
What do you think you are doing?

What do you think you are doing
refusing to hear the voice of our people
protesting your share in the bloody war?
What do you think you are doing? 
poetry from countries currently embargoed by the us, and discussion of the poets, poems, and embargoes
