Arabian Poet Poet Sonnet

Poisoned Paint

This poem is directed to the victims of the hateful terrorism and extremism






I remember my colorful childhood 
Black,white, yellow and red
In one peaceful living painting 
We were so perfectly colored 

Then,came dark days 
In Inattention of colors
A demon hidden in a religious paint
Holding poisoned brushes  
And disguised in a costume of a saint

at night,in the absence of all
In our paint he drilled a hole
And a crack happened in the paint
Colors began to seep on the wall

Now,no more colors except dark 
I pray to God to bring all colors back
