2.5 million people have been driven from their homes in
Darfur, Sudan Each day. They face threats that are
hard for us to even imagine, including rape, disease,
and starvation. These people need our help to put an
end to the genocide and they need it NOW.

The United Nations has described Sudan's western Darfur
region as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
The conflict flared in 2003 when rebels in Darfur took up
arms, accusing the government of neglecting the region.
Since then, civilians have come under attack from
government troops, nomadic militia and rebel groups.
The United Nations says as many as 300,000 people may
have died. Khartoum puts the figure at 10,000.
The violence has also forced some 2.5 million people -
mostly farmers and villagers from non-Arab groups -
to flee their homes.
APRIL ORCHARD - Franz Wright
We think if we're not conscious we exist,
we won't exist, but
how can that be?
Just look at the sun.
Oh, if I could only make myself completely unafraid
--once born, we never die--
what talks we'd have, and will.
It's theorized the universe is only one
among others, infinite among others.
Though didn't Christ tell us,
In my father's house there are many rooms. . .
And I would tell you what it's like, real fear.
And how there are human beings for whom the sun
is never going to shine is never going to rise again,
ever, not really--not the real sun.
They're not exactly waking up in radiant awareness
and celebration of their own presence these days,
who'd get rid of themselves with no more thought
(if it were possible) than you would give to
taking off a glove.
How in deep sleep sometimes even we get well.
So you can believe me, in the far deeper sleep
(these new apple leaves, maybe) we are all going
to be perfectly all right.
