The Armed Militias

The armed militias Plant gunpowder in gardens And harvest the souls on the streets Crushing dreams Robbing smiles Spreading pains Everywhere Here Dove of peace Looking for peace Here The olive branch An arrow Dripping with bloods Here All flowers Smelling of crying Here The truth becomes a kind of stupidity...

Hi Naji, I really like your poem. It is deep like another commenter said. I have two questions, one is about the flowers- did they rise from the gun powder? The other is about how you see truth- I don't understand how it is a "kind of stupidity". I don't know much about this type of war, so I am grateful for your expression. May it prevent more.

A deep poem about absurd reality... we in our country have other kind of militia...It is not classic terror, but they really kill, make robberies, and they explore poor people... a tremendous poem that of yours... salute alkas.
