My mind is in an abyss of oblivion From not believing what I see A poet believes That a word is worth thousand pictures But some pictures They are worth thousand nightmares While I am awake and gasping for words to breathe I can't imagine how I should feel When seeing all the things I see I can't realize what to think Caught by a tornado of dispair As helpness as one can be To survive, one must have a heart of steel To admit that the pictures are real But all I manage to say is It is not fair....

NOT FAIR
My mind is in an abyss of oblivion From not believing what I see A poet believes That a word is worth thousand pictures But some pictures They are worth thousand nightmares While I am awake and gasping for words to breathe I can't imagine how I should feel When seeing all the things I see I can't realize what to think Caught by a tornado of dispair As helpness as one can be To survive, one must have a heart of steel To admit that the pictures are real But all I manage to say is It is not fair....
When seeing the footages showing the children of Mosul being pulled from under the rubble after the liberation of the city from ISIS.
