nasıl kıydılar sana, masum bebek
Şii misin, Sünni misin ne demek
kırık camla boynunu bıçaklamış
iki ayaklı o mahlûk defalarca
o her yanı öpülesi güzel başını
koparmış kim bilir ne kadar süren
yürek kaldırmayan işkencenden sonra
bir de çaresizliğinin vahşeti içinde
akıl almaz bir melek katliamı
yaşayan anneciğinin çığlıkları altında
lânet olsun senin din anlayışına, ey yetişkin mahluk
lanet olsun senin gibi iki ayaklı hayvanlara
lanet olsun taksi kullanabilen
sürüngenden beter
hiç yaşamamış olsa
tibbi bir deneye yararı olabilecek
o ruhtan yoksun lanet olası varlığına

Bugün Suudi Arabistanda bir taksi şoförü tarafından katledilen 6 yaşındaki minik meleğin anısına
In honor of Zakariya al-Jaber, 6 years old, who was brutally murdered in Saudi Arabia for being a Shiite Muslim. My anguish at this news was so overwhelming that I only could write a few words in my native tongue. May such atrocities never come on to the path of another little angel. Anywhere. In the notoriously inhumane Saudi Arabia, in particular.

I can but cry with you, at so called man persisting on that journey of self serving gratification, at the ongoing expense of innocent children, a cure for which seems to remain an opaque black and dead-end road.
If you go to page fourteen on the book of Chaos – a human side of man – I am now well aware that the title should – an inhuman side of man –

I have read your poem on page 14 of your “Chaos”, dear Jean-Jacques, and must agree with you on your after-thought of altering the title. How accurately have you worded our condition: “a dead-end road”. In brutal honesty to myself, I admit how tired I am of my own helplessness at the face of children suffering atrocities in the name of this, in the name of that . . .

How does one cope with this reality, dear Kathy? My heart and mind are stuck on Zakariya’s last breaths.
