A Martyr Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Martyr

Rating: 5.0


It's easy to say,
do not cry.
He is not dead,
he is living somewhere else,
he is being fed by the Almighty.
It was easiest for God Almighty,
Dear God!
I cannot see what you see,
I cannot listen to what you listen to,
so how can I speak what you speak,
he is not dead,
but I don't see him,
and I cannot talk to him,
and,
I cannot kiss his forehead.
I obey you my God,
I don't utter a single word,
But the heart that you gave to me,
feels that I cannot kiss his forehead now,
I have sealed my lips,
I have closed my eyes,
but how can I stop my tears,
I am a mother!

A very touching and deeply poignant poem. It made me cry. I can feel the agony and love of a mother for her child. So beautifully written. Onto my Poem List.
