مطیع اله ترابWCP:MOTIOLAH TORAB

A poet is not to write about love.A poet is not to write about flowers.A poet must write about the plight and pain of the people...
--Motiolah Torab


War has turned into a trade
Heads have been sold
as if they weigh like cotton,
and at the scale sit such judges
who taste the blood, then decide the price
---



O flag-bearers of the world,
you have pained us a lot in the name of security
You cry of peace and security,
and you dispatch guns and ammunition
---


O graveyard of skulls and oppression
Rip this earth open and come out
They taunt me with your blood,
and you lie intoxicated with thoughts of virgins
