Farmer's Son


Farmer's Son
In The Northern Deserts
Of The Sudan
1958
Two Years After The Birth Of This Country
He Came Into Existence
Son Of A Farmer
Who Was Neither Well Off
Or Down Under
He Led a Simple Life
This Son Of A Farmer
He Rode A Donkey To School
Where He Spent Weeks At A Time
In The School Dorm
He Went On To College
In The Capital
A New Sight
Hundreds Of Cars
And From These Humble Beginnings
He Went On To Have Four OF His Own Kids
And He Became My Father
Son Of A Farmer
