"Baghdad!
When will my body reach you?
I am waiting…
Behind closed windows!
I am cursing fate,
My birth…
I am cursing the roads,
And it’s poor and miserable people.
Bars of the dead,
White horses…
When will I finally reach you?
Old houses…
Old houses that lean on
My chest and my shoulders.
Why are women weeping?
Why are the poor crying?
Why are prostitutes, the homeless,
Drunks, and lovers screaming?"
