Is Birth A Crime? Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Is Birth A Crime?

by Freeyad Ibrahim

Life begins with crying
and ends with crying,
and between those two cries,
there is crying

As our blind poet and philosopher
Abu Al-Ala Al-Maar'ri said,
Describing his birth as a Crime:
This is what my father committed against me,
and I did not commit this against anyone

He refused marrying!
to avoid criming!
