“They will not leave,
until the job is done”
So their waiting for one
another loss, another cry, another child to die
another orphan, another amputation, another childhood erosion.
So we watch and wait and watch
For another bomb, another mourn, another family torn
Another gun shot, another bloody day, another motherhood taken away.
Why can’t they see?
What can they truly achieve?
The job will not be done
Until they eventually leave.

Quratul Ayn
A brief, yet moving poem, that provokes sympathetic feelings…nothing alters destiny except true orisons…let’s pray unto Allah (SWT) for His Mercy.
