Bricks
Bread
And bones
They called us
Refugee
Lowlife
Another
Bekhuda
Rat infested
Vermin
Un-belonger
The
Un-habitant
Un-deserving
In-human
No being.
They showed us
Auqat
Un-fit
Un-parallel
Un-deserving
Un-worthy
In-haling
How dare we
This air
Theirs
Only
Them
The heirs
Kaisi
Teri zurrat
Wakaidi.
They said
Be-gone
Be-hid
Be-still
No words
Be-spoke
Only
Be-ware
Your place
Your auqat
You
The nothing
No one
Besharmi
Be-hurmatii
Meanwhile,
A girl runs to save the books she has
Amidst the rubble, the bricks
That once was
And we stand mute
While bones break
And bread dispensed
Scattered in the,
Among the ruins
Of these
The bricks
The bread
The bones
That once
We knew
Was
Home
Was
Us
Was
We
A together of
Brothers
Only now
Yours more
Than mine
The
Irony
Should we
Laugh
Or cry
The impunity
Of
Bricks
And
Bread
And
Bones
We
But
Dust
In
Eternity.
