Little boy Who do you weep? A father? A mother? A sister drowned in a river so deep Little boy Why do you weep? the colorful holdiay has turned bleak Happy children drowned Corpses drifted along the stream Dawn begun with joy And the sun sat with grief Little boy Don't hide your tears For the life you knew is gone for good The pain, once so foriegn, is now close Life, once smiling, has frowned Family, oh how loving, has drowned Little boy Let me sit beside you and weep A tragedy that dimmed the joy of Eid The souls who flew toward the sky Along with the smoke of festival's fire Lit on mountain tops, so high.

Tragedy
Little boy Who do you weep? A father? A mother? A sister drowned in a river so deep Little boy Why do you weep? the colorful holdiay has turned bleak Happy children drowned Corpses drifted along the stream Dawn begun with joy And the sun sat with grief Little boy Don't hide your tears For the life you knew is gone for good The pain, once so foriegn, is now close Life, once smiling, has frowned Family, oh how loving, has drowned Little boy Let me sit beside you and weep A tragedy that dimmed the joy of Eid The souls who flew toward the sky Along with the smoke of festival's fire Lit on mountain tops, so high.
On 21/March/2019, a holiday in Iraq, a ferry flipped over on the tigris river in northen Iraq, and nearly 100 people drowned, with over a 100 still missing, most of them are women and children, may their souls rest in peace. In the busyness of your day, remember them in a prayer
