Tragic wars /Elnaz Rezai

 Poetry

Angry soldiers fill with tiny footsteps
the bellies of helpless women…….
Tragic wars

In tragic, unequal, attritional wars

Old women cry so hard with the children even the air hurts

Angry soldiers fill with tiny footsteps the bellies of helpless women

They lift hidden, hungry, afraid girls out of ovens

Like a benevolent flag against hunger!

Greed exists, yes.

As does despair

Crime

Or hatred.
