Emtithal Mahmoud : WHAT WOULD YOU DO
What would you do if
your town was bombed
And everything near it was gone?
What would you do if
you were cold and alone,
And cast to the streets without a home?
What would you do if
someone killed your mom and dad?
And you had lost everything you had?
What would you do if
you were shattered and broken
Because you have witnessed
the unspoken?
If you run, where would you go?
If you died, would anyone know?
I myself would pray
And hope for a better day.
