He once had an eye That sought beauty in stars and trees He once had a nose That smelled aromas of his motherβs delicious meals He once had lips That kissed his beloved behind an old, dark street He once had a pretty face Beaming at the world Yet they recognized his corpse From his heart shaped tattoo.
Yesterday there was a series of protests in Iraq against corruption, 42 died and more than two thousands were injured, the pictures and videos of the victims are much worse than this poem. So much blood was shed. Pray for us.
P.s I apologize for sharing those disturbing news on this site, but those who died were people with hopes and dreams and stories, they were more than numbers, they were important and they died for a dream of a better life.
