Countries are small. People are not.


Who cares what colour your flag has,
It’s Independence Day,
Let’s just be happy.
Because in any case happiness is not about
how do we pray.
And to whom.




















While we in the east celebrated Independence day,
certain people in the middle-east
celebrated ethnic cleansing.
Victims faced bombs, missiles and rockets hit,
 and also faced whatever they did.
That little country got filled with air
that smelt of acid and gunpowder.
Shambling through the seas of dead babies,
fathers tore off their mouths open and scream,
mothers sat in silence, forgetting how to mourn
and dying kids between the blood, between the pain
promised to tell everything to the God.

Somebody please teach them humanity
and how much they need it.

  1. Its ironic how helpless one can feel at times, when the so called leaders of the generation wage a war that gives no glory, only gory.
