11,000 Tears
November 15th, 2023
When I was a little girl,
I believed rain was the tears of Angels
Mourning the loss of a good soul;
On November 13th, Angels wept all over the World.
The Angels wept
For they saw the roads to Jannah جنة
Full of Palestinian martyrs,
Gone before they could bless Earth.
The Angels wept
When they learned of the decades of injustice:
800,000 olive trees uprooted
Over 42,000 martyrs since 1948.
The Angels wept
And so the ground split in Sweden,
Fires raged in California,
A new island emerged in Japan.
The Angels wept
At the sight of violence,
For the rallies of solidarity;
They plead for Mercy رحمة by their own hands.
The Angels wept
Over 11,000 tears for the World.
Times of Al-Qiyamah القيامة seem near:
Brace yourself for the deluge.

Existence is useless"
