Victim of imperialism Bakhti and her brother

(Bakhti in Farsi means lucky!)

Let us dash… in the streets

and sharply play our drums

with furious cries

and heavy marching steps

show… that Bakhti is the first

and Bakhti … will be the last

let us rise …our moving flags

on white shinny satin

with running red splash

in the memory of… anti-slavery

the new hero teen

let us carry… her tiny little coffin…  

covered …with red roses

and a long black panel

written in red … all true causes

let us show …

our enthusiasm…

in looks and our faces

that we support victims

regardless…

of their colour and their races

let us… frankly tell them

they won’t be left alone        

in the imperialist traps              

where truth …

is never said or shown

let us observe… deeply … and carefully

the warm running blood

of thirteen lucky stabs

is the oppressed Afghans … accusation

against US-NATO ‘s  

bloody occupation

let us tolerate … no reflecting pain

against …. misery makers US-NATO

stand … and shout            

against… refugee makers …US -NATO    

convert tear drops… to cries        

don’t tolerate …

but shout
