Eastern Ghouta
Eastern Ghouta
there exist a dark
corner in this world
known as Eastern Ghouta
where, when you ask the children
to draw a picture, they draw pictures
of jet fighters dropping bombs on them, on them
on their homes, on their schools, on their hospitals
they draw pictures of death, pictures of gloom, of hunger
at the ruins of what was once home,she asks:where is death?
let it come,for there is food in heaven, there is food in heaven
the world looks the other way, the world looks the other way
