National Oppressor

( The poem is written in Arbic language, by a young woman from Kirkuk, January 2011)
From Delegation Fall 2010

O national oppressor, God has given me sufficient capacity so
that I can write poetry equal to holy sites.

but I know there isn't any pain equal to your pain, because in
all of the four parts of Kurdistan, there is killing .

O my nation .... I give you my blood and my life .

but I know that my blood doesn't ease your pain, but only makes
the enemy melt under your feet.

Then you embraced the people who forgot they were killers and criminals.
