I don’t know where to go with this sorrow! Honouring and grieving all those innocent lives who have been taken throughout the history. Photo: www.cancercenter.gwu.edu
SHADOWS
Shadows of hatred
Shadows of fear
Shadows of anger
Shadows of enmity
Shadows of war and crime.
Shadows
Shadows of stupidity
Those who burned my sister,
along with tens of others on a terror explosion in Tel Aviv,
and sent her burned bones to my heart bleeding mom.
Shadows
Shadows of frightening
Those who fell thousands of bombs on Gaza City
And killed my innocent mom,
along with hundreds of innocent men and women
and sent the pieces of her body,
drown into her blood to me.
Shadows
Shadows of hostility
Those who executed my brother,
along with thousands of young men,
in front of my family in Hanoi
and did not even give his lifeless body to us.
Shadows
Shadows of murderers
Those who killed hundreds of my comrades
At Square of Freedom in Beijing
and took their cold Bodies with them
and portended that nothing happened.
Shadows
Shadows of criminality
Those who murdered my friends,
along with thousands of innocent people
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
and called it a fight for peace.
Shadows
Shadows of meaningless hate
Shadows of heartless killers
Those who killed my family and my friends,
along with thousands of loving hearts
in September 11th at World Trade Center, in New York,
and called it the holy war.
Shadows
Shadows of hatred and hostility
Shadows of stupidity
Shadows of senseless politics
Shadows of prejudice
Shadows of death.
