| Notes | The speaker of this poem seems to be about a Sudanese person wishing they were a 'whale' in Alaska, because the preservation of whales is of more importance than saving the people of Sudan. The ineptitude and failings of both the United States and Russia to deal with the Sudanese crisis is palpable in this poem, as the speaker deals with oppression and hunger in their home country. The poem is likely referring to the famines caused by the Second Sudanese Civil War in 1993. |
