Genocide
Happens more often than

The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia
and the Armenian holocaust

these words 
bombs are falling on civilians
and children
"When will they ever learn"...

worldly
lovely
my flattery needs fuel
one more glass of wine
grapes and olives  building humanity
more beauty, my eyes crave it so
plus infinite wisdom
glasses full of merlot kisses
if a heart beats

this woman taught me softness
of whom do I speak?
oh la la only the Egyptians knew
the love for your cat is eternal

She has such beautiful eyes,
That proclaimed romance
This stance 
Is not enough to praise
Her profound beauty.
Bleeding from the open door,
Her tears are swiftly serenading 
the rhythm of life.
With a gentle apparel,
And beauty so fine,
With age became sweeter
With time it blossomed ripe.
She has such beautiful eyes
That I can built a shrine
Of love to glorify her..


Written by an Armenian Poet
Shiraz
