The little boy who held his daddy's glasses...

He can't be more than 4
The little boy
In tears
With his daddy's glasses
Clutched tightly in his hand
His other hand 
Gripping tight
His fathers shirt-
He looks up in fright 

His father lay
Silent.
Cold.
Still. 
In death!

The same repose
For his kin
His brother as well
Same silence
Same stillness
Same death
Untimely
Unnatural
Cold and cruel...
Unkind

The little boy
With nothing left
Except for his daddy's glasses
Only slightly bent
Clutched tightly
In his tiny hand

The little boy with his fathers glasses

For him tonight I wept
With him tonight I wept

He shall not go
Unknown by me
His story too
I shall tell
I once looked upon
The little boy who held
His daddy's glasses in his hand

The little boy from Gaza

shanaz the truth whatever is happening in this bloody world massacre and chaotic situation ist bcz ov us humans or msulims whatever we can say its been clearly written in hadith and Quran and ALLAH (sw) already warned the people 1500 years ago but its was us ignorant who did,nt do anything and we always just waited when israel is gonna come in to being and now we r waiting for jesus christ jews they read are holy qurana nd hadiths not to mend themselves but take every that step that is gonna give them refuge for that war that is going to b fought b/w imam mrhdi jesus and those jews and all the cruels wht r we doing ????? still the disputed land of iraq syria is gonna b included in israeli territory its also been told to us by God 1500 years ago but yet we aren,t doing anything we truly are loyal to innocents the main obligation is that we have teach our generations so they will guts to stand against them cox this war b/w haq and batil will not until the judgmental day tahts is the only situation and yet we haven,t been warn to stay away from cruel jews but also from Christians those r not Jews who have turned Afghanistan into chaotic land those r also Americans and the hatred for Muslims can b seen in majority of non Muslims
