War in Iran
today as the sky turned light
i awoke to another day in
my beloved country
i rubbed the sleep
from my eyes
the dust of dreams
falling to the floor
outside the dawn is
breaking
but i can’t see the sky.
like trying to glimpse the
future i desire from
behind the shadow
of war, i can barely see the Sun
past the ashes
all around me.
whoever started this war
and whoever ends it
doesn’t really matter to me
the moment my
brother was killed, i knew.
we’ve all lost.
