A torture to an Iraqi schoolboy Unsure of his way to his dwelling, Fatigued, out of breath, shattered, The desert wind blowing so unkind Down the narrow roads as a voice For help a mournful call Reminding us how lonely he is, Father missing, Mother ***** And the Iraqi girl friend dead, Troupes watch in silence from roof Date palms line up the shore in grief Leaning towards the dead sky, Silently with prayers While the dawn wind blows. While the dusk light fades. while the dark night falls.
