THE FALL OF SALAAM

SHE JUST LIES THERE
AS THE BLOOD FLOW OUT OF HER BODY
NO CHADOR NEEDS TO COVER IT NOW
HER CHILDISH EYES NOW CLOSED
WHILE HER SPIRIT WANDERED
UPON THE QUIET AND EMPTY SQUARE OF ISFAHAN
WHERE SHE DANCED AND DREAMED
OF GLITTERING PRINCESS AND CARAVANS AT DUSK
GUNS THAT TAKE AWAY HER YOUTHFUL DREAMS
SHALL
RUST AND FALL SILENT
COMES A NEW DAWN WHEN
IT BREAKS THE SHADOW OF THE MOSQUE
WE WILL DANCE FREELY
UPON THE PASTURE OF GREEN
WHERE ALL LIVE IN PEACE
AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS
"OF ONE ESSENCE IS THE HUMAN RACE"
NO BROTHER WILL FORCE HIS SISTER
NO SONS WILL HARM THEIR MOTHER
THATS WHAT our ANCIENT HEARTS ECHOED TO US

A tiny rock fall from the edge of temple mount
despite its 4 billion years old fragility
it breaks the stubborn head of a rabbi
while he was pulling the side plait of a absent minded pupil
the confused worshipers soon spreading conflicting rumors
as
scared and lack of sleep
the nervous soldiers all went wild
as they look the eye-stabing golden dome above
the noise of children playing football
sounds like some angry shouting
so it begin another age long familiar fight
the innocent rock lies there
as it witness more rocks and rubber bullets scattered around
followed by rockets from one side and
missiles from another
all in the various name of the
One
Allah
Jehovah
