After I die,
bury me in the dark.
Let the worms forget my name,
let the stars turn their backs.
Do not pray for me.
Do not lie.
Say I was hungry,
say I was cruel,
say I was real.
After I die,
leave me to the silence-
I was always closer to it than to love.
The war will end. The leaders will shake hands. The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son.That girl will wait for her beloved husband. And those children will wait for their hero father.
I don’t know who sold our homeland But I saw who paid the price.
