When i

No house is visible where I live

At dawn I get up everyday to worship

I am a five year old Muslim

It don't matter if I am a boy or a girl

I will not reach the age of puberty

Last night the bombs fell again

Slowly around our decaying home

But not like in America or the western side world

From the sky there is rain and snow

And something called Life

But everyday my mother kneels facing Mecca

Shouting ....whose child is this....who child is this

A week ago I lost all my class room friends

No school anymore....I miss school that day..school is gone

Was with my dad helping my neighbours with what's left

I am scared he will not be back home one day

You may not understand 

For I know you too have lost

We are all losers...... We all have lost

I worship for peace and love in this world ....yours too

And one day I hope I can eat a Mc Donald Halal Burger in America

But not alone....may be with you....and you

Please pray for life and love Love

Salaam.....you may not hear from me again

So difficult to make plans...Salaam....peace
