Seventy Qurras

Tragic Bir al-Maunah These humble men Worthy of art memorizing Repeating verses beautifully Delicate rendering of tenderness. The deepest poetricalism Each nuance of meaning Stand to read iambic verses Illuminating the darkness. But Blood-thirsty illetterated Did not heed. A flock of flying cadaver eaters Swirling around, literature dead.
