Poetry

My son is beautiful
My son is a hero
And the dictator envies heroes
My son is a hero
He is my love
The light of my eyes
My soul
A woman walks around
Showing her son to them
Whose eyes are fixed on the ground
In her arms, her son is sleeping
Laughing
In a picture frame

Maram al-Masri is a great poet, love her <3

What a painful poem, full of love and sorrow at the same time… An image of a mother holding her child with pride and sorrow, but only in a photo frame. It's as if time has stopped for that moment, but the world continues on its path without caring.
