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

places

am from Iraq, the birth place of prophet Aborham.
