Eyes: The Tragedy of Yazan Kafarneh

By: Ershad Khan   April 29, 2024

His eyes were pure

Big eyelashes with innocent stare His eyes gave the look of Being unsure

If there are still people Left to care Care about him

And children in the thousands Who are slowly starving to death How are people being complacent How can this ever make any sense?

Hours, days, and weeks passed His face turned into a living skeleton

With life slowly slipping by His eyes sank ever so deep With no more tears left to cry

His eyes got fixated Shocked and stiff Staring at humanity With utter disbelief!

My eyes never saw his face

My eyes leave Painful images behind My curtained eyes Are always shamefully blind!
