Empathy
Most beautiful child she is like a paradise fairy
Now wounded and hospitalized in Adana City
Belonged ‘anonymous’ tag she in intensive care
Heart cries much though she is not my daughter
Only six month baby girl whose parents can’t be found
The doctors feed her to save life though injured round
Oh; what a severe case of unidentified children she is
Whose parents are dead or untraceable rest in peace?
The earthquake broke many homes and took many lives
Also taken away many names without keeping any tribe
On her bed the baby girl though smiles at us with black eyes
Multiple fractures, bruised face refers to a head trauma high
I live far from her and have nothing to do for her life to care
As human being it's soulful empathy and my five times prayer
O Allah; save the girl as my daughter and cure from all danger
With Your gracious mercy let her be a part of beautiful nature
