| sohail | LIBERATING IRAQ* Every child whose limbs got amputated Every woman whose husband is soaked in blood Every father whose children lie buried in the ruins Every grandmother who will never see her grandchildren grow up Every school that is destroyed Every hospital that is looted Every doctor who is deprived of medications because of sanctions Every palace that is hit by cluster bombs Every statue that is toppled over Every oil well that is in flames Every city that is covered with a cloud of smoke Every villager who is dying of thirst Every animal that is starving And Every bird that is inhaling toxins Is asking the whole world Is this the liberation they promised us?

We are all children of Mother Earth Khalid Sohail Dec 31, 2001 |
