DO THE BELL TOLL CHİLDREN by Arslan Bayır

DO THE BELL TOLL CHİLDREN?

Arslan Bayır


Tell, Hemingway

For whom the bells toll now

I don’t think it’s for Madrid streets

Siren sounds evoke

Screams of Mesopotamia

On the poems of Lorca

Blue-eyed, black-eyed and

Green otter-eyed children

Wake up during sunrise

While blue sky emits

First lights to the world

Baghdad burns in embers

Fog of a bomb

Blocks the sun

Children wants to see the sun

Time is almost over

All hopes will be plunged into darkness

They will not play skittles

On the narrow streets of Baghdad

Hemingway

For whom the bells will toll this time

Cold and dark fear will surround

Childrens’ eyes

They won’t comb their hair

Across the mirror

A crazy whistle will sorround

A piece of iron will inflict wounds on their bodies

In the cruelty of life

In Baghdad or

In anywhere else..



Arslan Bayır from Antalya is an excellent poet and has got published various works and books.
