SHAHNAZ SHAHIN

Bloody Poem

Night, dead silence, darkness
Weather is very good, city is noiseless.
Fire from the rifle
draws a circle of flame
in the middle of the night.
Gunfire cut the silence
the dream of freedom ...
Morning of this night
Will open with the death.
Interesting is that,
Where is the Almighty
of this Earth?
Catching fire from the rocket,
your prosperous land is falling apart,
From a big huge building
only hills have left on the ground.
Blood on the lips of the night
And .... and you're nowhere.
Tomorrow your parents would be go to work.
you would be going to school...
But your bag is damaged on the ground
bullet holes in books...
your things are sprawled on the land ...
I also washed my face with this poem in blood
and I buried hundreds of people without graves
Please don't pass by my poem
read and then sleep...

War Is Like A Hungry Wolf

War is like a hungry wolf
sharp teeth, long claws,
it has the greedy appetite and greedy soul.
Its eyes full of with blood and invaded the world
Everywhere death .... everywhere tears.
Pieces of human bodies ...
from the gun blast are laid on the ground.
Staring this scene... everyone’s eye is widened.
What's your fault, baby, your dreams are broken,
your sweet dreams are disappearing ...
On dead mother's bloody chest
baby looks for milk with his lips.
Glasses of old man got dirty,
underfoot with weak eyesight.
The life of trees was also disrupted,
happiness rose into the air... like the black fume.
Birds, worms, ants, insects,
insects underground...
no one can find a place for hiding.
Empty bird nests were also caught in the bullet.
There is nothing visible ...
around except bullets, groans and pain.
Hundreds of people 
took tin instead drop of water,
 dark-red blood flows everywhere.
Soldiers run here and there,
someone pulls the gun from his shoulder,
that's enough, you're tired too, he says
go home, your mother is waiting for you...
And flag in one hand, bread in another...
two schoolchildren want to have only the peace.

World Would Reach To Everyone

Wheel of fortune turned in the world,
Oppression, obstinacy and death …
appears from all sides.
Many battle-fields on the map, and destroyed dwellings
And Palestine is ... one of them
There is corner for everyone in the world...
which was given by Almighty.
Everyone is able to earn, live, eat and drink,
and would find warm corner for the living.
But
the world, that has been divided so many times.
They think to destroy again and again
They don't interest about war...
they have no heartache; their houses aren't destroyed...
People,
Let's get together, don't let the world fall apart
Black, yellow, white skin people,
I call you all, I think about you all ...
I think about mothers, I think about children...
And adults ...
they can sit at the shade of the tree,
chatting, drinking tea and
sharing good memories
from their life...
Youngs love...
gets married... builds a new family,
and the blue sky would become to the roof
over everyone's head...
