Analysis of Where Am From
am from the middle east of asia
from the sun that strokes the equator
from the freshness of the elphurates river
am from the tear drops in my mothers eyes
am from the land that millions of souls had shed
am from the land where history first began
from the artifacts that were stoling in samura
from the blood shed that occures in every generation
from the moon that lights up over the shrines of our holly
am from Iraq, the birth place of prophet Aborham.
