Sonnets of Freedom

From now on the waters of Tigris, 
Will not show blood stains and floating corpse. 
Thereby bringing an end to the isis regime over cliffs, 
Because 'Baghdadi' is no longer Mosul's boss. 
The three long years of wait is now over, 
Joy and tears of families reunited,
It's time for the Carrol's to be sung over and over, 
It's that desired freedom for which Iraq forces fighter. 
A question arises," Did they ever sighted?"
"Why not" comes an answer."The cruel militants had to be curbed."
Today, Mosul's independent mosques will ring the freedom bells,
And preach that 'Quran' teaches 'secularism',
Not 'Jihad',Mosul's people will feel the freedom in air. 
'Progress Mosul's will be mentioned in their every prayer.
      
                         -ON THE EVE OF INDEPENDENCE

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
