Blessing
for the Zaghawa, Massaliet, Fur, Baggara, and Abbala peoples
by Steven Schmidt

May you find berry bread in the wild,
reflect in peace until you can see
gladness through light in true dreams,
knowledge and choices to guide each child
on the straight path to cool streams.
Let cousins drop war, confer, agree,
wake firm for justice, rivalry-free.
