I kept my right hand in check

It wanted to touch my forehead.

Then my stomach.

Then my right,

Then my left shoulder.

Between me

And my God

There was the graveyard.

Our Father, Who art

in Heaven.

I did not pray

For the souls of the murderers

As I had prayed

In 1999, for the souls of the pilots

Of the aeroplanes

Bombing my child.

I prayed

For my own and the soul

Of my friend Adnan.

To save our children

From killing each other.

My God

Thy will be done

On earth

Where graves lie in their silence

And someone in Your name

Doing Your will

In this moment

Pulls the trigger

Aiming at children.
