A City Stabbed (Fallujah)of Iraq Poem by Habib Ibrahim

By: Habib Ibrahim

Nostalgic he felt and delved
Into the city aggressively overwhelmed
Tears floated his eyes
And his bosom flooded
Piles of annihilated properties
Tossed the toppled grounds.

Past hope long dwelt there
Demise brought about by MDW clear.
Lush living became long queues
Panting for bread and returns
Whose signs severely destroyed
Keeping carcasses underground.

Wisdom and lessons got at last
Past life greatly turned desperate

Mans' stubbornness brings about plight
That could have been turned into delight.

That city witnessed serious outcomes
Past years of blessed affluences
