Turning our blind eyes
away from the crisis
the murder of the peoples
mercenaries and martyrs
Their blood on our hands
because we fail to act
empty rhetoric of diplomacy
when they are dying in the street
What will history say
the mass graves of the martyrs
when the world stood by
as they were slaughtered in the streets
Giving them over
letting them fight by themselves
claiming the rights to be free
yet leaving them to die alone
March 17, 2011
calling on President Obama and the world
to act in the Middle East, especially in Libya and Bahrain,
to stand with the people
yearning to breathe free
and not worrying about the results,
that it is always right to stand for basic human rights
&
on the transformations since the beginning of January -
all the protests in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Oman,
Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Palestinian Territories, Djibouti, Mauritania, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, etc.
