REQUIEM FOR BAGDAD sunday aremu A fragment Of shredded dreams Trapped in counter claims Steeped in tearful voices. A gloomy skyline of dismantled peace Brightened only by fire works In spreading ferocity. Sorrow stitches every face As Euphrates swells with blood. There, silhouetted in the mournful distance Of the withdrawing Sun, A dazed mother sieves Through rubbles of immeasurable betrayal For her blown son’s socks. Daily, the gaping wounds widens In depth of a blank freedom. Cry Bagdad, cry freedom.
