Eyes Frozen To Sky
Aug 20th, 2011 | By Ladaneey Magazine | Category: Featured, NoloshaThe following haiku poem grieves the unending plight of the Somali people. Life is however stronger than any misery, and the poem had to end with a note of defiance, embracing the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
Eyes Frozen To Sky
War in my country
No rain to wash the blood
- weeping in winter
***
Bang, bang, bang
Bullets, bullets and bullets
No one hears the wind
***
Peace is far away
Blinking stars in the night
- dark clouds gather in spring
***
Mother holds dead child
Husband under her feet
- eyes frozen to sky
***
Bare bones everywhere
Carcass smell in summer
- lonely bird above
***
Last whistle not blown
Buds sprouting everywhere
- bees out in spring.
