slm, this is a cool site with anti war poetry.. they had 2000 submitted just this last week alone. i thought maybe our muslim poetry stars could contribute some stuff on there as well :) http://www.poetsagainstthewar.org here are some i found that were cool too Baghdad, Be'er Sheva, Baltimore One unit: One child. One mother. One rifle. One bullet. One concussion bomb. One unit of chemicals. One endless moment. One desperate wish for rescue. One unit of blood. One unit of despair. A billion cries for peace. Kandahar imagine. refugees huddling waiting for warmth to throw back the shadows the mountains moving imperceptibly toward dawn look. a small boy is picking up a stone, but it is a stone made for throwing, not for skipping he has forgotten how to play he hurls the stone toward hidden enemies and wipes away the water in his eye. see. this young woman should be blossoming but hunger and fatigue have nipped her budding she is dirty, her feet blistered from the miles between bombs and borders who will light a candle for her if she withers here in this bare soil in kandahar, the flower vendor has left the street corner having no one to lean on, the fresh flowers sign is swaying madly in the wind |
