We have lived freely
Our lives are meaningful now
Rome cannot **** us

Aim their guns at kids
Batter unarmed civilians
Drag out families

Nothing but the truth

Haiku : Sufi martyr

"I'm the truth" echoed
Mansur effaced his ownself
He was crucified

Mansur Al Hallaj was crucified for saying " I am the truth", ie proclaiming divinity. Later on, it was said : he had forgotten his own identity in the remembrance of God

Haiku : life stages

Angsty teenagers
Adults with mid life crisis
Oldies stuck in past

Haiku : Lost

It is all lost now
No point looking here and there
Forget it , move on

Haiku : Siege

Wake up , stop dreaming
They have taken your castle
They will behead you
