A Town Of Oppressed People... Poem by Mohammad Younus

A Town of oppressed people...
...and murderous gunners,
Graveyards filled with valiant martyrs:
Shrouded in blood soaked rags,
And tortured and tormented people -
Suffering a maimed life,
Many waiting with blinded eyes -
To hear thegood news of peace, and love,
And the end of hideous oppression;
I count seventy and three years,
All well drenched in Koshur blood,
Spilt by the horrendous occupiers,
That reign o'er us with terror and horror,
And slay our young combatants,
Fighting for securing a free land -
Reddening the river Veth,
It is well known, this holy river,
Doth carry on it's breast slain babies,
Snatched by violence from their mothers,
But tell me, what washer divine shall wash,
The river Veth off the blood stains,
Spanned across it's turbulent body
