Get Used To This Lullaby

Rating: 5.0


Get used to this lullaby
Since you were sold today
To the strange eyes
That is not fair to be your ally

Get used to this lullaby
From tonight
Destiny will whisper to you, a lullaby
The destiny that is astonished
By its unwritten treaty, in your fly

A treaty that bargained maternally
To the shelterless and starve
For the rest of the children of a life

Get used to this lullaby
That will sing by the history
From tonight

The history that is strayed
On which page of its shame
Should write this battle cry?

sans date, sans signature, sans you
In your mother's arms
Get used to this lullaby!

Fatemeh, you made my eyes moist. I managed to control myself from sobbing, with much difficulty. I read a mother's passion in the poem, which only a woman can pen. Profoundly emotional. Top score and Myfav
