DO THE BELL TOLL CHİLDREN?
Tell, Hemingway
For whom the bells toll now
I don’t think it’s for Madrid streets
Siren sounds evoke
Screams of Mesopotamia
On the poems of Lorca
Blue-eyed, black-eyed and
Green otter-eyed children
Wake up during sunrise
While blue sky emits
First lights to the world
Baghdad burns in embers
Fog of a bomb
Blocks the sun
Children wants to see the sun
Time is almost over
All hopes will be plunged into darkness
They will not play skittles
On the narrow streets of Baghdad
Hemingway
For whom the bells will toll this time
Cold and dark fear will surround
Childrens’ eyes
They won’t comb their hair
Across the mirror
A crazy whistle will sorround
A piece of iron will inflict woinds on their bodies
In the cruelty of life
In Bagdath or
In anywhere else
